Why Ladder Safety Training is Essential in Ontario

Falls from ladders are one of the leading causes of injuries in Ontario workplaces, contributing to significant workplace accidents. According to the Ontario Ministry of Labour, there were over 9,000 accepted lost-time injury claims due to falls from ladders between 2015 and 2019. Ladder Safety Training from iSource Solutions helps prevent these incidents, providing workers with the critical knowledge needed to handle ladders safely and reduce the risks associated with ladder use.

iSource Solutions’ Ladder Safety Training program covers the essential components of fall prevention and ladder safety, ensuring your workplace is compliant with OHSA standards and that your employees understand how to operate ladders safely and efficiently.
