In the construction industry, every year more than 800 lost-time injuries occur due to ladder accidents. Falling from ladders is common in most industries and poses one of the most serious safety problems in construction. Most of these falls result in serious injuries or fatalities.

Ladders being one of the most common pieces of access equipment, there are thousands in use everyday with thousands of hours of exposure to ladder hazards each and every week.

The extensive use of ladders, the number of lost-time injuries, fatalities and the cost of associated with these accidents justifies the need for increased training in all industries where ladder use is required.

Worker training alone will not reduce these accidents, Supervisors and Lead Hands need to be trained in ladder safety and observation.

Any significant reduction in ladder accidents will require regular supervisory
observations, reinforcement of training and improved job site control involving ladder use.
