Making working at height as safe as standing on solid ground

Home » Events » #LadderSafetyMonth

#LadderSafetyMonth

The Ladder Association estimates there are around two million ladders in daily use around the UK. We have joined an initiative started in the United States to demonstrate how ladder products can keep you safe when used correctly for the right application.

#LadderSafetyMonth Infographic Deaths Per Year by Category

Ladder Injuries in Perspective

Falls from heights are one of the leading causes of serious work-related injuries and deaths. OSHA estimates that on average, approximately 200,000 serious injuries and 345 fatalities occur annually among workers directly affected by falls. To put this figure in perspective, on average 271 die in plane crashes each year in the US.

Ladder Safety Month

Kick-off Meeting at Little Giant Ladders


National Ladder Safety Month | March 2021

Every step matters: From step stools to extension ladders, make sure you’re putting the right foot forward.

Product Innovation

We believe through intelligent product design many of the injuries resulting from falls from height can be designed out of the product. The most common problems are over-reaching and unstable ground, see below examples of products on the market and in development that can keep you safe when working at height.

Ladder Standards

With the impact of Brexit, new European standards for ladders and the future of our national stands uncertain we give an in-depth look at the current landscape and try and explain the purpose of each standard and how it is likely to develop.

Safety Resources

Ensure you are putting safety first. We have put together a selection of free resources that if followed will help keep you safe. These range from video tutorials to work at height Power Point presentations, legislative guidance from the HSE to inspection checklists.

Images are a powerful way to share a message – We all can learn, no matter where

Find out how you can easily get trained on a half-day course that equips you with the knowledge needed to stay safe at height and gives you a Ladder Card valid for 5-years.
