National Ladder Safety Month 2019 
In a little more than three months, we will be advocating for ladder safety during our third annual National Ladder Safety Month. We're excited to share with you the five key themes National Ladder Safety Month has chosen to focus on in 2019:
  • February 24 - March 2: What is Ladder Safety?
  • March 3 - 9: Ladder Safety Training and Year-Round Partners
  • March 10 - 16: Ladder Safety at Work
  • March 17 - 23: Ladder Safety at Home
  • March 24 - 30: Ladder Inspection and Disposal
Remember, accidents are preventable. Help us spread the message year-round!

Stay Safe While Holiday Decorating
Put safety first this holiday season. When decorating your home for one of the most magical times of the year, be sure to follow proper ladder safety procedures. 

If you are hanging holiday lights outdoors, use an extension ladder that not only reaches the top of your roof, but extends two or three rungs above it. Also, consider asking a friend or family member to support the ladder. After all, this is a time for togetherness and holiday cheer!
