With all of the heavy machinery and dangerous equipment used in the construction industry, it might surprise you that the leading cause of death among workers is falls. And among those falls, one of the biggest culprits is the trusted ladder.
In fact, one study found that 80% of all construction falls that led to ER visits involved a ladder. And another report revealed that 1-in-5 construction deaths caused by falls involved ladders.
One of the most used tools on a construction site is a ladder. Do you know all the ladder hazards? And have you been properly trained on how to use and inspect the ladder?
