This toolbox talk can be delivered by construction supervisors, and provides basic safety tips for workers who use ladders.

A person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) has the responsibility to ensure the safety of workers, including consulting with workers and providing the appropriate safety systems and equipment on-site.

Planning for safety, using safe work method statements (SWMS), holding toolbox talks and providing safety equipment that eliminates or controls the risk, helps ensure workers go home safely at the end of the day.

On-the-spot fines of up to $3,600 apply, for failing to protect workers from the risk of falls from heights.
