Ladder Safety in Construction Environments

Much of the time, working off the ground on a job site means climbing a ladder. Ladders allow employees to work comfortably in places that are ordinarily out of their reach, and help them be more productive. But if they’re not used safely, ladders can also lead to accidents and serious injuries. Areas covered in the course include selecting the proper ladder, inspecting ladders before using them, setting up and moving ladders, climbing and working on ladders safely, ladder accidents and more.
