What is a Leaning Ladder and Flat Roof course?
This specialised training will introduce delegates to items of personal fall protection equipment that enables them to reach their working position whilst maintaining three points of contact. On successful completion of this course, you will be able to carry out inspections of fall protection equipment before use and use it safely – in line with up-to-date, approved methods and manufacturer’s instructions. Delegates will gain an understanding of legislation associated with the use of leaning ladders and flat roof ladders and have practical skills that follow current best practice.
