National Ladder Safety Month

National Ladder Safety Month, observed in March and spearheaded by the American Ladder Institute (ALI), raised awareness of ladder safety at home and work. ALI’s goal is to decrease the number of ladder-related injuries and fatalities, and increase the number of people certified in ladder safety training.

Each year, tens of thousands of injuries, and hundreds of deaths, are caused by ladder misuse. By providing critical guidelines and raising awareness on safe use, we can help decrease these numbers. The 2023 National Ladder Safety Month focused on choosing your ladder, as well as safety before the first step (inspection and set up), while climbing, and at the top.
