Ladder Safety

Falls from portable ladders (step, straight, combination and extension) are one of the leading causes of occupational fatalities and injuries. In this course you will learn ladders are tools. Many of the same basic safety rules that apply to most tools also apply to the safe use of a ladder. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1053sets out standards for ladders, maintenance and inspection.
