2021 Australian Workplace Health & Safety Awards (AWHSA) — Finalist
Australian Workplace Health & Safety Awards | Australia | 2021
Ladder falls are one of Australia's most costly and preventable workplace injuries — costing billions in workers' compensation, lost productivity, and human suffering every year. Lock Jaw Ladder Grip was built to change this, and the AWHSA Awards recognised that impact.
About This Award
The Australian Workplace Health & Safety Awards (AWHSA) celebrate the best safety innovations and initiatives improving outcomes for workers across Australia. Selection as a finalist is a rigorous, evidence-based process — meaning this recognition reflects real-world safety improvement, not just a concept.
Ladder Safety & WHS Compliance in Australia
Australia's Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 and the Managing the Risk of Falls at Workplaces Code of Practice 2021 set out clear duties for employers using ladders at work. Ladders must be secured against movement where reasonably practicable. Lock Jaw Ladder Grip is the practical answer to that requirement — a fast, one-handed stabiliser that takes under 5 seconds to attach and meets the standard set by SafeWork Queensland and equivalent state regulators.
Why Lock Jaw Was Recognised
AWHSA judges recognised Lock Jaw Ladder Grip for its direct, measurable impact on WHS outcomes. The product is deployed by some of Australia's most safety-conscious organisations — including major energy utilities, NBN Co, and emergency services departments — demonstrating that it performs in the most demanding, regulated work environments.
