Falls from ladders are a common cause of workplace injuries in Canada. Most happen because the wrong ladder was used, it was set up badly, or the worker lost balance while climbing. Good training helps prevent these falls.
This course is for anyone who uses a portable ladder at work: construction workers and labourers, painters, electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, cleaners, warehouse staff and maintenance crews. Employers and supervisors also use it to train and document their teams.
You will learn the main types of ladders and when to use each one, how to inspect a ladder before every use, and how to place and secure it at the right angle. The course also covers safe climbing with three points of contact, moving tools and materials safely, what to do in an emergency, and the duties of workers and supervisors. It is aligned with CSA Z11, the Canadian standard for portable ladders, and provincial OHS regulations.
The course is 100% online and self-paced. Study on a computer, tablet or phone, and your progress saves automatically. Pass the final exam with 80% or more and download your certificate right away. Retakes are free and unlimited, and a physical wallet card is mailed to you at no extra cost.
Your certificate is recognized by employers across Canada. The course is available in English, French, Spanish, Punjabi, Hindi, Mandarin and more. Training a team? Volume pricing starts at 2 seats, with an admin dashboard to track progress.
