Ladder Safety Training Video – [Complete Training Package]

Construction crews: see our construction-specific ladder safety training.
This ladder safety video will help make sure your employees who use ladders do so properly and safely. Every year many employees are injured while using ladders. Whether they are using the ladder improperly, accidentally falling from the ladder, or using the wrong kind of ladder for the job, training employees is the first step to preventing injuries. If you need more substance than a Powerpoint presentation, we also have a general industry ladder safety training video package.
This Ladder Safety Training Covers Several Important Topics:
- What are the different types of ladders, and how are they used? (Step ladders, extension ladders, straight ladders, etc.)
- How to use the “4 to 1” ratio to determine the proper height of a ladder for the given job
- How to understand the weight capacity of the different types of ladders and where to find this information on the ladder
- How to properly inspect the ladder before using it (Rungs, feet, ropes, pulleys, extensions, etc.)
- After the proper ladder is identified for the job at hand, how do you properly set up the ladder before use?
- What are the best practices for tying off a ladder?
- How to select a ladder for working around electricity or power lines
- How to properly climb a ladder (It sounds like common sense, but there are best practices that employees should follow)
- What is the 3-point rule for climbing a ladder, and how is it used?
- How to protect yourself if you know you are going to fall from a ladder
- and much more… (if you only need a PowerPoint instead of a video, we do have a standalone ladder safety PowerPoint presentation as well
Why Ladder Safety Training Matters:
Falls are the leading cause of death in construction, and ladders are involved in a huge share of them — not exotic equipment failures, but everyday mistakes: the wrong ladder for the job, a damaged ladder nobody flagged, overreaching, or carrying tools up by hand. OSHA cites ladder violations thousands of times a year, and the ladder standards routinely sit in OSHA’s top-ten most-cited list.
The fix is unglamorous and effective: teach every employee how to choose, inspect, set up, and climb a ladder correctly. Those four skills — plus the discipline to take a damaged ladder out of service — prevent the majority of ladder injuries.
Ladder Safety Certification & OSHA Requirements:
OSHA doesn’t issue “ladder licenses,” but it does require training. In construction, 29 CFR 1926.1060 requires employers to train each employee who uses ladders and stairways to recognize the hazards and know the procedures to minimize them — and to retrain when necessary. In general industry, employers must ensure employees can use ladders safely under the walking-working surfaces rules.
What most people mean by “ladder safety certification” is documented proof of that training — and that’s what this kit produces: the full training video, an employee quiz with answer sheet, a sign-in sheet for your records, and a printable Certificate of Completion for every employee trained.
This Complete Ladder Safety Training Program Includes These Items:
- Full-length ladder safety training video
- Employee quiz and answer sheet
- A “Presenter’s Guide” if you are going to do this training in person
- A printable training sign-in sheet to keep track of your training program
- A printable Certificate of Completion. You can print as many copies of the Certificate as you need
Who Needs This Training:
- Construction crews — OSHA’s construction standard explicitly requires ladder training for every employee who uses one
- Maintenance, facilities, and warehouse staff who use step and extension ladders day to day
- Retail and office employees who use ladders occasionally — infrequent users take the falls everyone assumes won’t happen
- New hires before first ladder use, and any employee after a near-miss or observed unsafe climb
The use of ladders in the workplace can be a big help, and in some cases, using a ladder is mandatory. That is why this Ladder Safety Training video is such an important part of any workplace safety training program. Serious injuries can and do occur with employees using ladders, and proper training can help prevent those accidents. This ladder training video is just over 14 minutes long and is available as an English or Spanish-speaking DVD or USB Stick.

Yes. In construction, 29 CFR 1926.1060 requires employers to train every employee who uses ladders and stairways, using a competent person, and to retrain as needed. In general industry, employers must ensure workers can use ladders safely under the walking-working surfaces rules. Documented video training with a quiz — like this kit — is a standard way employers meet and prove that requirement.
For every four feet of height to the ladder’s upper support point, the base should sit one foot away from the wall. A ladder resting 16 feet up should have its feet about 4 feet out. Too steep and the ladder can tip backward; too shallow and the feet can kick out. The video demonstrates how to set the angle correctly every time.
Keep three points of contact with the ladder at all times — two hands and a foot, or two feet and a hand. That means facing the ladder, keeping your body centered between the rails, and never climbing while carrying tools in your hand (use a tool belt or raise tools with a line). It’s the single habit that prevents the most ladder falls.
Before each use: rungs and steps (clean, tight, undamaged), side rails (no cracks or bends), feet (present and gripping), and on extension ladders the ropes, pulleys, and locks. A damaged ladder comes out of service immediately and gets tagged — never “one last climb.” The video walks through the full inspection step by step.
There’s no government-issued ladder license — “certification” in practice means documented employer-provided training. This kit produces exactly that: video training (about 14 minutes, English or Spanish), a quiz with answer sheet, a sign-in sheet, and a printable Certificate of Completion for each employee.
