The current Working at Height Regulations, make it the duty of every employer to ensure that their staff are correctly trained. We offer ladder training and other working at height training courses including access equipment safety training covering the correct usage and inspection of access equipment including ladders, step ladders, towers and scaffolding training. Ladder training courses provide employers and employees with the assurance that they have the correct training, knowledge and experience required to maintain, handle and use access equipment products correctly and safely.
