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.
