Test & Certification
Falls from ladders cause approximately 14 deaths each year. Plus, thousands of others injure themselves using poorly maintained ladders or by using ladders incorrectly as they haven’t received sufficient training. If you don’t set up, use and inspect your ladders properly, you could seriously injure yourself.
All employees are legally obliged to protect themselves and others while working at height. They must cooperate with their employers to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations. Ladders aren’t always easy to set up and use, so awareness training is important for anyone who works at height.
At the end of the online abrasive wheels training, you will be given a 20-question, multiple-choice test. The required pass rate is 85%. You will be able to download and print a digital certificate on completion of the course. A course certificate is 12 months for this annual refresher.
Duration
The course will take approximately 25 minutes to complete, excluding the final exam.
