✅ Who Should Take This Course?

This course is written for workers who use, set up, or supervise the use of portable and fixed ladders on construction and general industry jobsites, including:

• Construction laborers, carpenters, and skilled trades who work from ladders
• Maintenance, facilities, and building-service personnel
• Painters, electricians, HVAC, and roofing workers
• Warehouse, retail, and general industry staff who use stepladders
• Foremen and supervisors who oversee ladder use on the job
• Safety staff and competent persons responsible for ladder inspection

✅ Does This Course Satisfy the OSHA Requirement?

This course is designed to satisfy the ladder safety training OSHA requires under 29 CFR 1926.1060 for construction and under 29 CFR 1910.23 and the related training rule at 1910.30 for general industry. OSHA does not approve, certify, or license training providers or courses, so no course carries an OSHA approval number; instead, the employer is responsible for ensuring training meets the standard, and a certificate of completion from any provider is acceptable documentation. Your employer must still provide the site-specific elements the standards require, such as evaluating actual jobsite conditions and designating any competent or qualified person needed for ladder use and inspection.

✅ OSHA Training Requirements

OSHA's construction standard, 29 CFR 1926.1060, requires employers to provide a training program so that each employee who uses ladders can recognize ladder-related hazards and knows the procedures to minimize them. The general industry standard, 29 CFR 1910.23, sets the design and safe-use rules for portable and fixed ladders, and the training must cover the hazards workers actually face on the job.

• Training so each ladder user can recognize hazards and safe procedures (1926.1060)
• Proper ladder selection, duty ratings, and the four-times safety factor
• Safe setup, including the 4-to-1 rule and 3-foot extension above the landing
• Three points of contact, pre-use inspection, and prohibited uses
• Fixed-ladder fall protection under 1910.28(b)(9)
• Employer keeps the training documentation; no submission to OSHA

How this course helps: This 1-hour course is designed to deliver the ladder safety training required by 29 CFR 1926.1060 and 29 CFR 1910.23 for workers who use portable and fixed ladders. It provides the general hazard-recognition and safe-use training the standards require; your employer supplies the site-specific items, such as evaluating jobsite conditions and designating any competent or qualified person.

✅ How Often Is Retraining Required?

OSHA's ladder standard does not set a fixed retraining interval such as annually or every three years. Under 29 CFR 1926.1060(b), the employer must retrain each employee as necessary so that the worker maintains the understanding and knowledge the standard requires. In practice, retraining is triggered when a worker shows a deficiency or unsafe practice, or when workplace conditions, the type of ladder in use, or the standards change. Because there is no set expiration, many employers still refresh ladder training periodically, and the completion certificate is kept on file as documentation.

✅ How to Stay Compliant

2. Enroll online and complete this one-hour course at your own pace.
3. Use the qualified-trainer support if you have questions during the training.
4. Finish the course and receive your certificate of completion by email instantly.
5. Provide the certificate to your employer for its training records.
6. Follow your employer's site-specific ladder procedures and inspection program.
7. Complete retraining when you show a deficiency or when your ladders, tasks, or conditions change.
