Ladders are a common piece of equipment found in nearly every workplace and are considered harmless, yet thousands of people are killed or injured yearly due to ladder and fall-related accidents. The numbers speak for themselves- over 500,000 people are treated each year for ladder falls; there are over 300 deaths from ladder falls each year; there is an estimated $24 billion spent annually in the U.S. for work loss, medical, legal, liability, and pain and suffering due to falls.
Attend the Safety Summit and learn about risk prevention, fall protection, and how it relates to the pest management industry in the breakout session: Attics & Crawl Spaces: Confined Spaces & Fall Protection.
