whose responsibility is it to provide direction on correct ladder usage?

The responsibility to provide direction on the correct ladder usage primarily lies with the facility manager or Work Health and Safety (WHS) manager. They are accountable for planning and implementing ladder inspections, ensuring that ladders are regularly inspected, maintained, and repaired, and providing relevant training and safety protocols. Workers themselves are responsible for using ladders correctly and safely, while senior management and directors are tasked with prioritizing safety and allocating necessary resources for compliance with health and safety laws. Overall, ladder safety is a shared responsibility among facility managers, workers, and senior management, with the facility manager/WHS manager playing a central role in providing direction on correct ladder usage.
