Ontario requires proper ladder training to prevent falls and injuries. This course teaches workers how to inspect ladders, set them up safely, follow OHSA rules, and avoid common hazards. Achieve Safety provides hands on ladder safety training for contractors, construction crews, and general workplaces.
Ladder use seems simple, but most fall related injuries happen because workers were never trained to use ladders correctly.
This Ladder Safety Training course helps Ontario employers meet their duties under the Occupational Health and Safety Act by teaching workers how to choose, inspect, and use portable ladders safely.
This four hour program follows CSA CAN3 Z11 standards and outlines the legal responsibilities of employers, supervisors, and workers. The course explains how to set up a ladder, how to identify defects, how to control hazards, and how to prevent falls during routine tasks. It also teaches the correct way to transport, store, and maintain ladders so they remain safe over time.
By building competency and awareness, workers learn how to avoid common mistakes that lead to injuries. Supervisors also gain clarity on their legal responsibility to train and monitor ladder use at the job site.

Any worker who uses a ladder as part of their job in Ontario needs ladder safety training. This includes construction crews, maintenance workers, warehouse staff, facility operators, cleaners, tradespeople, and anyone who performs tasks at height. Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, employers must ensure workers are trained, competent, and supervised when using ladders.
Supervisors also require ladder safety training. They are responsible for monitoring ladder use, inspecting equipment, correcting unsafe behaviour, and ensuring workers follow safe work practices. Even low risk workplaces benefit from training because improper ladder setup is a leading cause of falls and injuries.
If a worker climbs, reaches, or performs any task on a portable ladder, training is required. Achieve Safety provides hands on ladder safety training that meets OHSA expectations and CSA standards.
Personnel who regularly use ladders for repairs, cleaning, inspections, or access tasks.
Workers performing temporary or task based work that requires ladder access in industrial, commercial, or general workplace settings.
Portable ladders must be appropriate for the task, load rated correctly, and kept in good condition to prevent structural failure or misuse.
Ladders must be positioned, secured, and used properly to reduce the risk of slips, overreaching, and loss of balance during work at height.
Ladders must be inspected regularly, removed from service if damaged, and stored in a way that prevents deterioration over time.
Ladder use is commonly reviewed during Ministry of Labour inspections due to the frequency and severity of fall related incidents.
During inspections or compliance reviews, inspectors assess whether ladders are suitable for the task, in good condition, and used correctly by trained workers.
Inspectors routinely assess:
Ladder condition and inspection practices
Proper ladder selection for the task and environment
Safe setup angles and positioning
Worker training and supervision
Storage and maintenance of ladders
This course helps workers and supervisors understand how ladder safety practices are reviewed during inspections and how proper training supports compliance.
Secure Your Future.
This course provides a Record of Training (ROT) confirming completion of Ladder Safety Training aligned with CSA CAN3 Z11 standards and Ontario workplace safety requirements.
While this is not a government issued certification, the Record of Training is commonly used by employers to document that workers have received formal ladder safety instruction.
Training records support employer documentation and may be requested during inspections or compliance reviews.
Falls from ladders can result in serious injury, lost time, and regulatory enforcement.
