Safe Work Australia | Australia | 2021
In the US alone, ladder falls cause more than 100 deaths and 300,000 emergency room visits every year. Lock Jaw Ladder Grip was engineered to prevent these accidents — and this international safety award recognizes that mission.
About This Award
The Safe Work & Return to Work Awards are Australia's national workplace safety honors, presented by Safe Work Australia. They recognize organizations, innovators, and products that demonstrate outstanding commitment to preventing workplace injuries. Lock Jaw Ladder Grip was recognized as a national finalist for developing a practical solution to one of the most dangerous and preventable hazards on any job site: unsecured ladders.
The Ladder Safety Problem
Ladder falls are one of the leading causes of fatal and non-fatal injuries for construction workers, roofers, electricians, and maintenance professionals. OSHA ladder safety standards require that ladders be secured to prevent displacement — but until Lock Jaw, doing so quickly and reliably on a job site was a real challenge.
Lock Jaw Ladder Grip solves this with a patented, one-handed clamp that secures a ladder to the gutter or eave in under 5 seconds — no tools, no fuss, full compliance.
Why Lock Jaw Was Recognized
Judges recognized Lock Jaw Ladder Grip for delivering measurable, real-world safety outcomes. The device is trusted by major utility companies, emergency services, and building contractors — organizations that operate under strict safety regulations and simply cannot afford preventable falls.
