Working at Height Training Videos
The Lyte Working at Height Academy
Working safely at height starts with knowledge.
The Lyte Working at Height Training Video Library has been created to help Health & Safety professionals, site managers and workers improve their understanding of ladder safety, working at height regulations and the safe selection and use of access equipment.
Whether you're carrying out toolbox talks, refreshing your team's knowledge or supporting workplace compliance, our free video resources provide practical guidance based on HSE guidance, Ladder Association best practice and recognised British and European standards.
All videos are free to watch and are designed to complement the resources available in the Lyte Health & Safety Hub.

How to Inspect a Ladder Before Every Use
A pre-use ladder inspection takes less than a minute and can help identify defects before work begins. In this short video, you'll learn what to check, when to remove a ladder from service, and how to support safer working at height in line with HSE and Ladder Association guidance.
Key Takeaways
✔ Carry out a visual inspection before every use.
✔ Check the feet, stiles, rungs, locks and safety labels.
✔ Never use a ladder that is damaged or has missing components.
✔ Remove defective ladders from service immediately and report the defect.
✔ Remember that pre-use checks do not replace formal recorded inspections by a competent person.

The videos work alongside the downloadable resources available in the Health & Safety Hub, including:
- Ladder Inspection Checklist
- Choosing Safe Products Guide
