New training DVDs

The Ladder Association's 'Ladders & Steps' national training course now includes two DVDs intended to enhance the learning experience of attendees: "Jason Anker: A Fall From Height" and " Ladder Safety: The Essentials." The powerful message in the first DVD describes Jason's life as a paraplegic after falling just 10 feet from a ladder and sustaining a major spinal injury and how he has coped since.

The DVD includes excerpts from Jason's live presentation, together with moving testimony from his family.

The second DVD reinforces the essential elements of the course. It covers ladder classifications, how to decide whether a ladder or stepladder is the right piece of workplace equipment for the task in hand, situations in which you should never use a ladder, and how to carry out and record ladder inspections.
