Let's talk about ladder safety.  In the construction industry, ladders are

one of the most common tools of the trade we use to get the job done.  With so many uses, and s o many workers utilizing ladders every day, it is worth your time as an employer to develop a ladder safety training program.  The Occupational Safety and Health Administration estimates that over 20,000 workers are injured each year due to ladder related accidents which can result in severe injury and even death. 

Many employers assume that the workers they hire know all they need to know about ladder use and that there is no need to train and educate them to ensure their safety out on the job.  This can be a tragic assumption.  Failure to train employees in the safe use of ladders will lead to misuse and probable mishaps that could have been avoided. 

What are you doing to make sure your employees have the best understanding of safe ladder use when they are out working for you?   If any part of the ladder is not safe for use it must be removed from service.  There is much more to learn and understand about safe ladder use in the construction industry.  It is the employer's job to implement the necessary training programs that protect workers every day, on every job.
