Overview

Ladder Awareness course overview

“It’s just a quick job on a ladder” is a common mindset in the workplace. This is where risks are underestimated, safe practices are overlooked, and ladder falls can have serious consequences. This Ladder Awareness Seminar builds the knowledge, skills, and awareness required to safely use ladders and stepladders in the workplace.
 
We don’t treat ladder safety as something that can be rushed through. Instead, our industry-experienced trainers deliver a practical, interactive seminar tailored to your workplace, focusing on the real risks your workers face. Participants develop an understanding of ladder risks, pre-use inspections, correct positioning, and safe access and egress techniques. The seminar also reinforces how to apply safe work practices when using ladders and stepladders.
 
IMPAC’s focus is on building awareness and reinforcing safe behaviours when using ladders. Participants step back into the workplace equipped to recognise risks, inspect equipment, and ensure ladders are used safely.

Curriculum

What you'll cover

This course is designed for:
  • Workers who use ladders and stepladders as part of day-to-day tasks.
  • Industrial and operational teams working in environments where ladder-related risks are present.
  • Supervisors and managers responsible for overseeing safe ladder use on site.
  • Health and safety personnel, safety officers, and compliance officers needing a practical understanding of ladder hazards and controls.
  • Organisations wanting workers to recognise when ladder use is appropriate and when additional controls or alternative access methods may be required. 

Our approach

+IMPAC's Ladder Awareness training approach

This ladder awareness training is delivered as a practical seminar focused on how ladder use actually goes wrong in real workplaces. Participants work through safe ladder and stepladder use, pre-use inspection, positioning, access and exit techniques, and the warning signs that a job is starting to drift into unsafe territory.

The session combines trainer-led guidance, discussion, and workplace examples so learners can connect the rules to the kinds of tasks they carry out on site. Rather than stopping at theory, the course focuses on the shortcuts, positioning errors, and hazard conditions that commonly lead to unsafe ladder use and loss of stability during work at height.
