A half-day, in-company course that trains the people who inspect ladders and access equipment to carry out the legal and practical checks properly, and to spot a ladder that should be taken out of use.
Ladder inspection training prepares the people who inspect ladders and access equipment to do it properly: the legal background, the checks to make, the defects to look for, and how to record and report them. KeyOstas delivers it as a half-day in-company course, including inspecting your own equipment.
It is for the people given the job of inspecting ladders and access equipment.
By the end of the half day, every delegate will be able to do the following.
Understand the basic health and safety legislation behind equipment inspection, including PUWER.
Outline the Work at Height Regulations and where LOLER applies to lifting equipment.
Explain the statutory checks that work equipment requires.
Understand the risk-assessment requirements behind ladder use and inspection.
Identify the hazards and risks associated with ladders.
Recognise the different types of ladder and the checks each one requires.
Assess and inspect a variety of on-site ladders and access equipment.
Record findings and report defects using your own procedures and forms.
A focused half day combining the law with hands-on inspection.
