Oscar Joshua Vasquez says
Good information was provided. Is there any training material that you can offered to train an employee to be a competent person to inspect ladders on the job site?
Curtis Chambers, CSP says
Thank you Oscar. We do have a ladder safety in construction DVD training package on our main website at https://oshatraining.theoshastore.com/ladder-safety-in-construction-environments.html . However, there is noting specifically designed for a competent person certification.
George Tellez says
Very good information in a short period of time. Section dealing with proper set-up of ladders was done correctly using the working length not the vertical height.
Curtis Chambers says
Thank you George. Please help spread the word about this new resource!
Justin Teague says
Very good information and it was all given in what I felt was an appropriate amount of time. This would be a great resource to share with front line supervision. Thank you for creating this and for sharing!
