At the warehouse and distribution centre in Listowel (around 130 employees at the site), a worker fell around 1.2 m while climbing down a ladder at high-bay racking. He had not been adequately informed, instructed and supervised on the safe use of ladders. Fine of CA$70,000 plus victim fine surcharge.

What organisations can take from it

Even everyday tasks such as working from ladders at racking require documented instruction – otherwise there is no evidence whatsoever if an incident occurs.

Relevance to training and awareness

Safe use of ladders in the warehouse

Missing or inadequate training played a role in the decision.
