Working at Height with Ladders - Full Day
The Full Day Short Duration Working from Portable Ladders course is divided into 3 levels. It is quite a comprehensive course with level 1 and 2 designed to provide delegates with the correct training of the methods to stabilise a leaning ladder for use with the correct type of fall protection equipment. Level 3 advances Level 1 and 2 by demonstrating the correct method of using fall protection equipment to transfer from a leaning ladder onto a roof ladder on a pitched roof. At the end of the course there is a short test, when successfully completed candidates will be issued with a certificate and will then be considered to be a "competent person" as specified by the Health & Safety Executive.

The level 3 system follows the same principal of the Level 1 & 2 equipment (secure ladder to wall, secure operative to ladder) with the added ability to secure the roof ladder to the access ladder and safely transfer from either. The rope and rope grab again enables the user to carry equipment in one hand, while ascending or descending the ladder.
