Every Step Matters
Every Step Matters
Every step matters: From step stools to extension ladders, make sure you're putting the right foot forward.
Every year over 100 people die in ladder-related accidents, and thousands suffer disabling injuries. Join the American Ladder Institute (ALI) and participate in the fifth annual National Ladder Safety Month February 22 - March 31. This important month was designed to raise awareness of ladder safety and to decrease the number of ladder-related injuries and fatalities.
The “why”: Every life saved is precious
The goals of National Ladder Safety Month are to:
Decrease number of ladder-related injuries and fatalities
Increase the number of ladder safety training certificates issued by ALI
Increase the frequency that ladder safety training modules are viewed on www.laddersafetytraining.org
Lower the rankings of ladder-related safety citations on OSHA’s yearly “Top 10 Citations List”
Increase the number of in-person ladder trainings
Increase the number of companies and individuals that inspect and properly dispose of old, damaged or obsolete ladders
