The course
The course is built in modules, each with short lessons, real-world scenarios and quizzes. Here is what each module is for.
Module 1
Your introduction to ladder and stairway safety connects the subject with construction work, giving you a starting point for recognizing situations that deserve closer examination.
Module 2
Move from basic awareness to practical decisions as you work through realistic situations. Use your ladder safety learning to explain what makes a response appropriate.
Module 3
Broader construction situations bring the learning together in this module. Decide how earlier ladder and stairway concepts apply when familiar conditions no longer guide your judgment.
