March is National Ladder Safety Month!
First, did you know that CDC stats show that 43% of fatal falls in the last decade involved a ladder, and among construction workers, an estimated 81% of fall injuries treated in the US emergency departments involve a ladder?
So today I’m going to look into ladder safety and a few things you should have on every ladder.
Stabilizer Bars/ Stand Offs ($26): tinyurl.com/3u52vx2v An absolute must. These prevent the ladder from sliding back an forth but also protect the home’s gutters from dents and scrapes from your ladder.
Leg Levelers ($150): tinyurl.com/y6v6kjcf Essential for safe residential work. When working on uneven terrain/hills/etc. these allow you to properly place a ladder and ensure that you’ve got a safe and vertical ladder.
Extension Bar ($199): https://tinyurl.com/3e5ec5xv OSHA requires ladders to extend 3’ beyond the top of a roof for safe access. Use these to meet that 3’ requirement and also create an easy pass through to safely access a roof!
All three of these can be used to make roof access safe and easy!
