Ladder Certification Checklist
This ladder certification checklist helps assess and document employee competency in safe ladder use. It covers pre-use inspections for rungs, rails, and feet, correct setup including a 4 to 1 angle, securing extension ladders and extending above the work surface, and proper A frame use without leaning. It reinforces stabilizer installation, using two hands while climbing, and the belt buckle rule to avoid overreaching. The checklist includes signature fields for employee and trainer acknowledgement, optional photo capture, and notes that training information is also available in Spanish. Intended as a starter template, it supports safer, compliant ladder practices across worksites.
