March is National Ladder Safety Month!
Here at Wayne’s Roofing we are all about Safety, and March is National Ladder Safety Month, the only movement dedicated exclusively to the promotion of ladder safety, at home and at work.
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 fourth annual National Ladder Safety Month February 23 - March 31. This important month was designed to raise awareness of ladder safety and to decrease the number of ladder-related injuries and fatalities.
ALI believes ladder accidents are preventable with better safety planning and training, and continuous innovation in product design.
The goals of National Ladder Safety Month are to:
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”
Decrease number of ladder-related injuries and fatalities
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 and join ALI and its members in sharing this message with the world year-round.
