Please ensure your organisation holds an active membership before registering.About this EventLadders are everywhere in the energy industry.Familiar. Routine. Often seen as low risk.But are we really looking at the full picture?This interactive industry forum brings together workforce representatives, leaders, HSE professionals, and safety practitioners to explore one of the most normalised risks across our industry – the everyday use of step ladders.Through a thought-provoking safety animation and facilitated discussion, the session will go beyond ladder use itself to examine the behaviours, decisions, systems, and assumptions that influence how work at height is carried out.Together, we’ll explore questions such as:Are ladders being treated as a last resort – or simply the default option?What risks remain hidden due to underreporting of minor incidents and near misses?Why do other industries apply stricter controls for the same hazard?Are we fully applying the hierarchy of controls, or allowing convenience to influence decision-making?This forum is not about banning ladders.It’s about creating an open and honest industry conversation around how and why they are used – and whether safer alternatives are always being considered.Join us to:Challenge normalised behavioursShare perspectives and industry insightReflect on current practicesPlay your part in improving work at height safetyLet’s move beyond “just a ladder” – and start talking about the choices behind it. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/aberdeen/industry-forum-just-a-ladder-challenging-normalised-risk/100001989010498945 - **Event Categories**: business, contests - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Aberdeen - **state**: SC - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Northern Lights Room, Beach Ballroom - **lat**: 57.1552225 - **long**: -2.0796868 - **full address**: Northern Lights Room, Beach Ballroom, Beach Promenade, Aberdeen, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Industry Forum: Just a Ladder? - Challenging Normalised Risk - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/f5dd445582e86d8ed42be84540a39892fa225e4fceae2442bab4d664d7a37280-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1779143054 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Industry Forum: Just a Ladder? - Challenging Normalised Risk being held? - **A:** Industry Forum: Just a Ladder? - Challenging Normalised Risk takes place on Thu, 18 Jun, 2026 at 11:00 am to Thu, 18 Jun, 2026 at 12:30 pm at Northern Lights Room, Beach Ballroom, Beach Promenade, Aberdeen, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Industry Forum: Just a Ladder? - Challenging Normalised Risk? - **A:** Industry Forum: Just a Ladder? - Challenging Normalised Risk is organized by Step Change In Safety. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
