"Using Ladders Safely" is a new training course offered by Mastery.com that teaches, of course, ladder safety, and apparently to a pretty in-depth degree.

The course teaches about various types of ladders, including extension ladders, step ladders, etc. It addresses questions and concerns such as how high up a person can safely climb, how far from the structure the ladder is lean in against is too far to have the base of the ladder, and how to inspect ladders for damage and usage safety.

The course is $19.99 and comes with other benefits from Mastery.com such as certifications, continuing education rewards, and more.
