It is a requirement of the Work at Height Regulations 2005 that all personnel using Ladders and Steps are trained in, and aware of, their correct use. Failure to comply with the regulations can lead to prosecution.

It is a popular myth that Ladders and Steps have been banned by the HSE. This is not true.

Given the correct training and risk assessment they can be used for the following

• Ladders can be used for access to and from a place of work
• Work can be conducted from a ladder

By attending an Evolution FLT training day delegates will be made aware of the current legislation. They will also be instructed in the safe use and selection of Ladders and Steps. The course also includes a guide on basic inspection of equipment.

Upon completion a certificate of attendance will be issued.
