Ladder & Steps Training

If you have ever fallen from ladders or steps then we're certain you and your organization are interested in what we have to say on this page. If you have never experienced such a fall then please read on as falling from height is no joke.

Many of us have never experienced falling from height, however many of us have spoken to friends, relatives or co-workers who have fallen and as a result know that preventative measures need to be put in place to prevent such accidents. Falling from ladders and steps can result in the victim being traumatized and in some cases the event can be fatal. Falling from a ladder or a set of steps may seem like the most unlikely of events, however believe it or not it is one of the most common accidents in the working environment.

The aims and objectives of the Ladder Association - Ladder Steps training course are to provide delegates with the necessary information in the safe use and inspection of ladders & steps.

At the end of the instruction course candidates will be able to:

• Have an understanding of the statutory regulations
• Identify types of ladders and steps
• Understand safe use and carrying techniques
• Inspect ladders & steps

On completion of the Ladder Association accredited training course, successful delegates will receive a certificate and photo ID card from the Ladder Association (BLMA) valid for 5 years.
