Here are some tips to help you prevent falls in the future:
Ladder Safety Tips:
- Choose the right ladder for the task at hand.
- Inspect the ladder before each use.
- Always keep three points of contact on the ladder (two hands and one foot or two feet and one hand).
- Only use a ladder on stable, level surfaces.
Why Ladder Safety Matters:
- Reduces the number of injuries each year.
- Increases the issuance of ladder safety certifications.
- Decrease the number of ladder safety violations reported by OSHA.
- Promotes more ladder safety training sessions.
