Tetra Leaning Ladder Safety System Course

This course is designed for individuals working from leaning ladders that have already been trained to use and inspect those ladders but are currently using them without any means to prevent a fall.

We aim to provide each candidate with the underpinning knowledge and practical skills to safely use fall protection equipment with leaning ladders when accessing property elevations or structures.

During this training candidates will be introduced to items of personal fall protection equipment that enables the individual to safely reach their working position maintaining 3 points of contact. 

This training course combines theory and practical training methods to ensure delegates receive the information required in preparation for their assessment.

Printed course material, practical demonstrations and hands on training will be conducted throughout the course. The Tetra Leaning Ladder Safety System Course is aimed at delegates who are or will be responsible for the safe use of leaning ladders in the work place.

This course is suitable for those who need to maintain three points of contact on a ladder while ascending/descending. This course is aimed at personnel who use portable leaning ladders for short duration access, who have already been trained to use and inspect those ladders, but are currently operating without any means to prevent a fall.

Knowledge and experience of safety harness use is an advantage. Since the safe use of ladders and FPE requires that delegates consult safety notices and read and thoroughly understand the manufacturer’s instruction manual, English literacy and language comprehension are important requirements for any tower user.

Please note that delegates will be expected to work at height whilst climbing ladder and using the TETRA Safety System, so please ensure delegates are in good health and do not have a fear of heights that may preclude them from taking part in the practical assessment.
