Holiday Ladder Safety
Are you planning on hanging Christmas lights this year? Remember to place your ladder on a level, stable surface. Breaking an arm in a fall (or worse) is no fun anytime, let alone during the holiday season.
- According to World Health Organization, the US leads the world in ladder deaths.
- Each year, there are more than 164,000 emergency room-treated injuries and 300 deaths caused by ladders.
- Falls from ladders are the leading cause of death on construction sites.
- Ladder fatalities have tripled over the last decade.
