Firefighters at airports have been banned from climbing ladders more than two meters high during training in case they fall and hurt themselves.
Airservices Australia chief fire officer Glenn Wood confirmed the ban during a Senate Estimates hearing on Monday.
It means firefighters cannot practise climbing high ladders as required to fight a real fire in a highly stressful situation.
