Course Description


This interactive distance-learning course is designed to emphasize hazard identification, avoidance and control — not standards, in an effort to train workers on precautions against accidents in the workplace with stairs and ladders. No attempt has been made to treat the topic exhaustively and it is not to be taken as a substitute for any of the provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 or for any standards issued by the US Department of Labor.

This one hour of instruction we will discuss the following topics:

  • Rules for all ladders
  • Rules for stairways
  • Training requirements
  • Glossary of terms
  • OSHA assistance

 



Course Objectives


Upon completion of this course participants will have a basic understanding of:

  • Rules for all ladders including stepladders, portable ladders, fixed ladders and defective ladders
  • Rules for stairways including stairways used during construction, temporary stairs, stair rails, handrails and mid-rails.
  • Responsibilities of employers to train employees
  • Basic glossary terms
  • OSHA’s Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines
