Ladder safety
March 1st 2008 The aim of the Ladder Association
in 2008 is to make sure that
anyone using ladders and
stepladders to work at height has
the knowledge and experience to
complete the relevant task safely.
The Ladder Association website
is promoting the theme 'Be ladder
competent – get ladder trained'.
The site gives details of approved
training centres throughout the UK
delivering the industry standard
Ladder Association training course.
Delegates learn how to select
the right equipment based on risk
assessment; make sure the work is
properly planned and organised;
use the right type and classification
of ladder; ensure it is properly
maintained and in good condition. More articles from British Ladder Manufacturers Association: |
