Virgin media job
I applied for a job with VM for a field access technician. I applied for this job before and they ask such questions as safe use of power tools and ladders. I think this is where I failed last time. I done research and waited 6 months and applied again.
I understand the following with ladders:
Place on a even surface
Make sure the bracket is locked
Use both hands to climb
Make sure the ladder has none slip feet
Only climb as high as the ladder is designed for
Only one person on a ladder
Follow the safety and warnings on the side of the ladder
And from a drill side of things:
Use eye protection
Do a risk assessment
Check its been PAT tested
Check the drill is clean (No rust)
Check the cord (No breaks)
Check what material I am drilling into
Use ear protectors
Never use in wet conditions
Is there anything else I am forgetting or any advice anyone can give?

Re: Virgin media job
Ladders also have a safe working angle, rule of thumb is 1 measure out from the wall is matched by 4 measures up it.

Re: Virgin media job
Just follow the instructions of this Health and safety manager explaining how to use a ladder and you wont go far wrong.
Good luck

Re: Virgin media job
Got through the first stage. Now got a 20 minute interview tomorrow after work at 7pm. Got to research products Virgin offer and how I have helped out people in the past at my work.

Re: Virgin media job
Most current field techs probably don't know much about the products that VM offer lol.
