Workplace accidents can have serious consequences for both the casualty and their organisation. It is important that both employees and their employers understand the risks associated with working from height and that they know how to use equipment in a safe; appropriate manner. An individual can sustain an injury falling just a couple of metres. They can also suffer a back injury if they fail to take precautions when moving and positioning equipment. Stepladders are used frequently in the workplace; so it is essential that employees know when and how to use them. This course will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the risks associated with stepladders; how to put in place effective precautionary measures and how to ensure that equipment is fit for purpose. Not all accidents are preventable but when everyone knows how to work safely; the majority of incidents can be avoided.
