March is Ladder Safety Month.
GPS challenge of the week…Ladder Safety! The American Ladder Institute (ALI) has designated March as National Ladder Safety Month, an opportunity to raise awareness and provide resources to decrease the number of ladder-related incidents.
You the worker can reduce the chance of falling during a climb by: wearing slip-resistant shoes with heavy soles, using towlines, climbing slowly, deliberately and avoiding sudden movements. DO NOT STAND on the top step of a ladder. NEVER attempt to move a ladder while standing on it.
