Ladders, Mobile Towers and Scaffold: Safety Awareness

How to choose between a ladder, a podium, a mobile tower and a scaffold, what to check before you climb, and the warning signs on a structure someone else put up.

“I go up a ladder twice a day and nobody ever showed me how to judge whether it is the right one.”

An awareness course. It is not a licence, card or qualification to erect scaffolding, and it does not replace the training your employer or national rules require.

System scaffold with guardrails, timber decks and an access ladder against a blue sky
