Overview

Did you know that Ladders are responsible for around 40% of height-related falls in the UK? Which makes them a leading cause of accidents both at work and at home. At least one-third of all fall injuries involve ladders, highlighting the critical need for proper ladder safety training. To reduce the risk of serious injuries or fatalities, it’s essential to comply with the Work at Height Regulations 2005 (WAHR). These regulations require employers and those in control of work at height to ensure tasks are planned, supervised, and carried out by competent individuals.

Proper planning and training are key to preventing accidents and ensuring compliance. Investing in ladder safety training is not only about legal compliance but also about protecting lives. Always prioritise safety when working at height.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
