seems that every year or so there is a new H/S regulation that you need to be trained up for, I used to joke that you'll have to do a course to climb a ladder next. Well today I was off work due to the snow and came across on the internet the Ladder Association and it appears that anyone who uses a ladder in the course of their work requires competency training.Course duration 4-6 hours. There is also a ladder inspection course. duration 1 day, but to do this course you must have successfully completed the first course.Tickets will be issued for (A) Competency) (b) Inspection. It's not free, and I'm wondering what the next joke is going to cost. Certainly wont be laughing again.
