Ladder Height Safety
Leading Edge’s Ladder Safety Training Course gives your team the essential skills and knowledge to use ladders safely and confidently on the job.
As workplace health and safety standards rise, ladders are often replaced with alternative access methods. While these options may seem safer, they can also be more expensive, time-consuming, and limiting.
With the right height safety equipment and proper stabilisation techniques, ladders remain a safe, practical, and efficient choice for short-duration temporary access.
