Ladders & Ladder Safety

3/1/2023

Every year over 300 people die in ladder-related accidents, and over 500,000 are treated for injuries. We challenge you to be more aware of ladder safety and to decrease the number of ladder-related injuries and fatalities

Accidents are preventable, but without better safety planning and training, we will continue to see far too many fatalities. The best you can do is be aware, be prepared and get educated.
