Ladder Safety

Ladders are one of the most commonly used pieces of equipment in almost any work environment. From common stepladders to sophisticated extension ladders, they can be found almost everywhere.

TPC Training Systems' training products on "Ladder Safety" show that because they are so common, many employees take ladders for granted, and don't take the appropriate precautions when using ladders. Topics covered in these products include:

• Ladder selection.
• Inspection and maintenance.
• Proper "set-up".
• Overhead hazards.
• Climbing and working safely.
• Accidents and first aid.
• and more.
