Topic - Ladder Safety

• WELCOME EVERYONE to the RJA TOOLBOX TALK ON LADDER SAFETY
  
  Falling from a ladder is one of the most common causes of injury in the construction industry - which is why we are discussing them today.
  
  Did you know 1 person a month dies from a fall from a roof or a ladder
  Did you know 30% of all work fatalities in Australia were from falls from height.
  Did you know 50% of deaths in construction industry are from heights less than 4 metres.

• When you are using a Ladder on RJA sites you should;

• 1. Check the area you will be using the ladder for any hazards or risks that may affect you. Like uneven ground, water or high traffic area.

• 2. Remove any rubbish and debris from around the bottom of the ladder.

• 3. Make sure you know the emergency response plan if somebody does have a fall. Like where is the First Aid Kit, Emergency Numbers, closest medical care.
