Job Safety, Ladders & Code

What this certification means

Job Safety, Ladders & Code proves you work safely in occupied homes — ladder and fall safety, electrical lockout, dust and chemical hazards, plus the code and permit awareness that keeps you out of trouble.

What it covers

• Ladder selection, duty rating, setup angle, and the extension rule
• Fall hazards on roofs, stairs, and elevated work
• Electrical safety: verifying dead, lockout/tagout, and GFCI protection
• Lead-safe practices in pre-1978 homes and RRP requirements
• Asbestos awareness: where it hides and why you stop work
• Silica dust, respirators, and cutting or grinding controls
• Personal protective equipment and when each item is required
• Working safely in occupied homes with kids and pets present
• Permits: which jobs need one and who is allowed to pull it
• Handyman licensing limits and dollar thresholds by state

Who this is for

Every handyman. Required reading before the specialty tracks that involve heights, dust, or electricity.
