Ladder training is conducted under the training scheme provided for by the Ladder Association, formerly the British Ladder Manufacturers Association (BLMA). Training is aimed at users, supervisors and managers requiring the knowledge, skills and confidence necessary to use ladders legally and safely.

The training program has been written by some of the UK’s leading experts on ladder manufacture, maintenance and safety. The 1 day Ladder Association training scheme addresses all the issues raised by the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Work at Height Regulations 2005.

These acts determine that every person in the chain leading up to, and including, the final user, has both a duty of care to themselves and to others and must know and understand the practical implications of working safely at height.

Demonstration of competence is a key requirement of the new regulations and successful completion of the Ladder Association training course provides proof of such competence. Delivered only by Ladder Association approved training centres, the course objectives aim to enable delegates to:

* Select appropriate work at height equipment for a task
* Assess and determine when it is appropriate to use ladders and stepladders
* Correctly locate and safely use ladders and stepladders
* Inspect ladders and stepladders for damage

And ensure delegates have an understanding of:

* Legislation and regulations affecting work at height
* Product standards and classifications for ladders and stepladders
* Hazards affecting the use of ladders and stepladders

Upon successful completion every delegate receives a certificate and Ladder Association photo card as objective proof of competence.

Maximum delegate numbers per course are restricted to 12 persons and courses must be conducted at a bona fide Ladder Association Member training centre or on client premises (by an accredited training centre and provided adequate facilities are available). All courses advertised on XYZ are verified as being from genuine Ladder Association training centres.
