Guidance on work at height for classroom checklist


How do you know if the stepladder and/or kickstool in your classroom has been inspected in the last 12 months? If you have not been trained to undertake a pre-use inspection of the equipment and how to use it safely you should not use it until you have. Accidents relating to work at height can have serious life-long consequences.
