The e-course provides information that will help increase ladder safety awareness both at work and at home. It provides a practical introduction to working safely with ladders and covers topics such as inspection before use, proper set up of ladder, and how to work safely while on the ladder. Geared to people working in environments such as manufacturing, municipalities, utilities, and offices, it may also be helpful in the construction sector, although specific issues such as scaffolding are not covered.

The course provides people who work with ladders at home or at work with the knowledge they need to prevent accidents and injuries, and work safely with ladders. Supervisors and staff responsible for training & purchasing will find the course content especially beneficial.

As with all of CCOHS’ e-courses, Ladder Safety is delivered over the Internet in an e-learning format that makes training easily accessible and cost effective. The course, complete with references, quizzes and an exam takes about 30 to 40 minutes to complete.

Ladder Safety is the latest addition to CCOHS’ roster of e-courses and is available in English. The French version is in production and is scheduled for release early September.

It is offered at introductory pricing, a 25% savings, until October 31, 2005
