March is National Ladder Safety Month

National Ladder Safety Month, observed in March and spearheaded by the American Ladder Institute (ALI), is dedicated to raising awareness of ladder safety and decreasing the number of ladder-related injuries and fatalities.

Each year, more than 100 people die in ladder-related accidents and thousands suffer disabling injuries, according to ALI. The organization said it believes ladder accidents are preventable with thorough safety planning, training and continuous innovation in product design.

“The more people, organizations and businesses get involved, the wider the message spreads, and the more people learn about proper ladder safety,” the organization said in its promotion of National Ladder Safety Month.
