4 Hour – Awareness Level

Ladders provide an easy, convenient way to achieve additional height when a worker must perform routine or minor tasks off the ground. Too often, however, injuries occur when the risks involved with using a ladder are forgotten or unknown. There are many factors to consider before selecting a ladder and using it to perform tasks. Knowing safe work practices and respecting the hazards associated with using a ladder can help prevent a serious incident from occurring. Just remember, when it comes to selecting and using the appropriate ladder for your tasks, every step counts.
