The American Ladder Institute is offering free online ladder safety training designed to help environmental health and safety managers and safety directors streamline workplace education.
The resource repository, available at laddersafetytraining.org, includes training videos and materials that can function as a standalone safety program or be integrated into existing company regimens. The training is developed by the ALI, the only approved developer of safety standards for the U.S. ladder industry.
While the materials are available year-round, the institute is highlighting the tools ahead of National Ladder Safety Month in March. Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year under the theme “10 Years of Safer Climbing,” the initiative is the only program dedicated specifically to promoting ladder safety at home and in the workplace.
The institute’s training aims to reduce ladder-related incidents and strengthen employee awareness of common hazards through consistent instruction. Because ladders are a primary tool across many industries, the ALI maintains that accessible refresher education is critical to promoting safer climbing behaviors.
Each week of the March campaign will focus on a specific safety theme:
- Week One: Choosing the Right Ladder
- Week Two: Check Before You Climb
- Week Three: Set It Up Safely
- Week Four: Climb Safely, Work Safely
- Week Five: Safe Steps with Stepstools
In addition to the online modules, a webinar series will be held throughout the month. Information regarding topics and registration can be found on the National Ladder Safety Month website.
The American Ladder Institute is supported by several industry sponsors, including the International Masonry Institute, the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers, Werner Co., and Louisville Ladder.
