I install cable television and company had almost no safety training for 28ft extendable fiberglass ladders with hooks for hooking strand lines when pole not accessible.
Fortunately for you, ladder safety is pretty elementary, and written on the side of most ladders. 1) Check your ladder for structural damage before climbing. 2) Choose a non-conductive ladder if you’re working with electricity. 3) Make sure someone is stabilizing the bottom of the ladder. 4) Always maintain three points of contact with the ladder (two hands and a foot, or two feet and a hand). 5) Always keep your weight centered over the ladder. (If you need to lean out to reach, then your ladder is in the wrong place.)
There, now you’re trained. Go forth, and don’t fall off anything.

as the first answer said it is on the ladder, however training is not an OSHA standard, fall protection is, the CFR states that anyone in construction or field work should have adequate fall protection if climbing over 6 feet, a harness of some type with a lanyard attached, what OSHA doesn’t say is how are you supposed to attached said fall protection if you have to climb over 6 feet to attach it
