March is National Ladder Safety Month, led by The American Ladder Institute, OSHA, ANSI and many other sponsors. Each year, employers and their workers make an extra effort in March to reduce ladder-related accidents and fall hazards in the workplace by participating in training events.
Even if you don’t work on or around ladders every day, the lessons of ladder safety month can help protect you when you do use a ladder in facility maintenance and custodial work.
In the most recent survey by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, worker deaths from ladder falls declined 12 percent from 183 in 2016 to 161 in 2020. The number of emergency room visits from workplace ladder falls runs in the thousands every year.
KingsClean joins the many other sponsors of National Ladder Safety Month to raise awareness, increase the number of facility workers trained in ladder safety, and decrease injuries and fatalities caused by ladder misuse.
The KingsClean video training series includes six videos on custodial safety, including a module on Ladder Safety. Read more about KingsClean safety training.
