What is a Leaning Ladder and Flat Roof Open Course?

Open courses are classroom-based, face-to-face training. They have regular course dates available for anyone to book either online or by phone.

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.

Who is the SA051C Smart Award for?

The SA051C – Leaning Ladder and Flat Roof course has been developed with Tetra to provide those who work from leaning ladders and roof ladders, are already trained to use and inspect those ladders but are without training to prevent a fall.
