Training courses, seminars and conferencesInspirational or a waste of precious slacking-off time? I once went on a buzzword bingo-laden training course which ended up with my being held at gunpoint in public. Could have gone better, to be honest. Tell us your tales from either side of the lectern

Erm, "Accidents happen when people don't use them properly...".That's why they need ladder training. How would you know which was the correct ladder for the situation and how to use it correctly if you were not trained? Oh, and "common sense" is not a term you would want to use when being sued.

If you've trained people in ladder selectionthen you're to blame if it all goes horribly wrong. If you let them decide for themselves you can hang 'em out to dry.

Can't see that being the legal position.Otherwise they could use the wrong one and say you made them use a ladder but didn't tell them which one or how to use it.
The strategy is to get them to sign that they understand ladder selection, inspection and use so if they use the wrong one it's their fault.
I'll admit I'm not a lawyer but if these courses aren't to get companies out of litigation then they would not be there. There is no other reason for any "safety" or similarly mandated training other than to limit liability in the event that something goes wrong.
