STK0305 – Fixed Access Ladders & Scaffolding

Description

Date: June 16, 2022, 14.00 UTC. Webinar

Estimated Time: 1 hr

Language: English

Summary of the lecture

Climbing fixed ladders poses an interesting question with regard to fall protection.  The default industry standard for protection for fixed ladders is normally a ladder cage, but how much protection do these really provide.?  In this webinar we explore the history of ladder cages (hoops), understand their limitations and look at what other products and techniques can be used to provide greater levels of protection.

Erecting and dismantling scaffold is one of the most common work at height activities undertaken on sites and contributes significantly to the number of work at height accident statistics.   It is a very dynamic job, and the worker must remain mobile whilst staying safely attached.

In this online seminar we will understand the hazards that are unique to this application and explore the options available to allow the worker to remain protected whilst still being able to carry out the task.
