CHICAGO, Dec. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Join the American Ladder Institute (ALI) this March in raising awareness of ladder safety on the job and in the home. Ladder accidents are one of the leading causes of injuries and fatalities for homeowners and working professionals, with more 300 lives lost annually according to the World Health Organization. National Ladder Safety Month was started as a way to decrease the instances of ladder-related accidents through education, and increased awareness of safety best practices.
In March 2020, National Ladder Safety Month will focus on five key themes:
- February 23 - February 29: What is Ladder Safety?
- March 1 - 7: Ladder Safety Training and Year Round Partners
- March 8 - 14: Ladder Safety at Work
- March 15 - 21: Ladder Safety at Home
- March 22 - 28: Ladder Inspection and Disposal
There are many ways to participate in National Ladder Safety Month; through your favorite social media channels, engaging with and using #LadderSafetyMonth, sending emails to friends, family and/or colleagues; and sponsoring the campaign to demonstrate your commitment to safety. ALI's Marketing Guide outlines all the possible ways you can get involved. You can also explore the National Ladder Safety Month website for more involvement ideas and information about the campaign.
Although National Ladder Safety Month is one month out of the year, using a ladder properly and safely is something with year-round importance and impact. No matter the season or task, keep ladder safety top of mind. Visit the websites above to learn more about safe ladder choice, set up, inspection and disposal, and play a part in reducing preventable ladder accidents through education and awareness.
