Training Room 2: Workplace Safety in Action
Safe Ladder Use
Demonstrate two ladder-safety skills to your teacher:
- safe set-up and use of ladders
- ladder inspection, care, and storage
Your teacher may ask you to demonstrate your skill in a lab or in the field under the supervision of an individual with training in worksite/workstation safety. Depending on your situation, your teacher might ask you to demonstrate your skill in a virtual setting, such as by video or video conference.
Ladder Safety Reference Sheet
Create your Ladder Safety Reference Sheet, which you will include in your Pocket Guide to Workplace Safety in the Training Room 2 Project.
Organize your information into two sections: hazards and solutions.
Under hazards, include information about unsafe ladder practices.
Under solutions, include the following:
- diagrams of ladder-safety rules
- your ladder inspection checklist
- information about proper ladder care and storage
You can choose the format of your Ladder Safety Reference Sheet. To decide which format to use, think about how you will use your Pocket Guide to Workplace Safety at work. For example, will you store your Pocket Guide on an iPod or cell phone, or will you carry a print-out to your worksite?
You might use a combination of text and pictures in a word-processed or presentation file, or you might create a graphic design or a video. Whatever format you choose, make sure your teacher is on board and that you include all necessary information and references. Use Training Room 2 Project Rubric to make sure you have met all requirements.
Save your work in the file you created and named “Ladder Safety Reference Sheet” in your Pocket Guide to Workplace Safety sub-folder.
Submit a draft of your completed Ladder Safety Reference Sheet to your teacher for feedback. You will submit your final version for marks later in Training Room 2 Project.
