Ladder falls are a frequent hazard in Australia, posing significant danger regardless of the ladder’s height.

Even from lower levels, falls can result in severe injuries. The main cause is often improper use or mishandling of ladders. Stressing the gravity of these incidents is crucial; they can lead to serious harm and incapacitation.

This underscores the paramount importance of exercising caution and strictly following safety protocols whenever working with ladders.
