Every ladder accident is preventable, but without better training and continuous innovation in safety planning and product design, fatalities will continue.
Every year, over 300 people die in ladder-related accidents, and thousands suffer disabling injuries.
The impact from sprains and strains, broken bones and other more serious disabling conditions resulting from falls from ladders reaches far beyond the injured worker's suffering. The direct compensation and medical treatments associated with falls from elevation cost American businesses $4.6 billion, according to a report from Liberty Mutual published several years ago.
