Looking Back at This Year's National Ladder Safety Month

This March marked the sixth annual National Ladder Safety Month. With the support of our generous industry sponsors, ALI reached our goals of raising awareness of ladder safety and increasing the number of people certified in Ladder Safety Training. Here are a few highlights from the month:
Watch the National Ladder Safety Month Webinar Series On-Demand, Sponsored by Werner Co.

Throughout National Ladder Safety Month, participants had the opportunity to access top-notch education all month long with the Ladder Safety Webinar Series, sponsored by Werner. Each week, Werner hosted webinars on key ladder safety topics, including – choosing your ladder, safety before the first step, safety while climbing and safety at the top. If you missed any of these presentations, want to re-watch them or share the valuable insights with your team, you can access the recordings anytime, on-demand and download the presentation slides online.
