About this course
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.

Two ways to run it
-
Your policies, your scenarios
We rebuild “Ladder Safety Training for Workplace Compliance” around how your organisation actually works, so the training changes behaviour instead of recording completions.
Build a custom version -
Ready to run as it is
Deploy the course off the shelf, with light branding if you want it. Delivered with our partner Safetrac, who will contact you directly.
Deploy off the shelf
Either way, you can run it through our compliance platform or take it as a SCORM package for the LMS you already have.
What it costs
Off-the-shelf pricing starts at $4,000 a year for up to ten courses with your logo and colours applied, rising with how much you want changed. The tiers are the same across the catalogue, so they are set out once on the pricing page rather than repeated on all 101 courses.
If what you actually need is your own scenarios and your own policies rather than a reskin, that is a custom build, and it is the work Hungry Minds does.
Choosing an LMS
If you don’t currently have an LMS, we can help you select a platform that suits your organisation.
For smaller teams or organisations getting started, we typically recommend LearnWorlds for its ease of use and quick setup.For organisations requiring more advanced functionality and reporting, TalentLMS is a strong option.

We may receive a commission if you sign up to an LMS we recommend. It does not change what we recommend.
