I know this is a pretty old thread now but guess what I also fell for the sales pitch and I have very little time to mess around with trying to get out of it so I though tI would just suck it up and plough through.
Failed the online test just like many of you and now I have in my hand the ridiculous test that I am pretty sure is going to be the end of me.
I have no idea how to answer these questions, being servery dyxlesic I struggle massivily with learning, I was told i would get all the support i needed from tutors which of course was a lie.
So i pose to you guys the same question i asked my tutor.
I seriously do not understand this test you have sent me.
"move an extension ladder which is secured to racking on top of the van and extend it ready for use on the outside wall"
am i supposed to be making up hazards such as it could crush me if I if don't have two people or bungee cords are holding the ladder in place I could accidentally take my eye out if one slips.
or am i literally supposed to put things like,
ladder is not damaged, no risk of injury, low level risk safety inspection done, no further controls needed, review risk assessment next time of use.
ladder is placed against solid surface, risk of injury fall, medium risk, safety inspection done, further control having another person have their foot on the bottom rung, review next time of use.
its question one and I've been on it all day!!!! I have searched the hse website, google, youtube, I have no answer for this.
I am never going to finish this course.
I appreciate anyone who takes the time to answer my question I know it seems stupid but unfortunately I am a practical learner and doing things like this on paper cause me so much hassle and grief its unreal.
Thanks Again in advance guys and girls.
