This course has been specifically designed for clients who employ premises officers, caretakers or maintenance personal that have the need to use this type of equipment, and to access open flat roof areas for light duty maintenance works.

Interactive DVD programmes are used to highlight the hazards & risks people may be exposed to when working on ladders and steps or on open roof areas. Group syndicate work is undertaken to give delegates the opportunity to carry out some risk assessments & to put together a simple safe working method statement to cover these access applications.

Delegates are taught the safe erection procedures for ladders & steps and the methods available to ensure stability of this high-risk work equipment.
