Werner announced the company will partner with the American Ladder Institute for Ladder Safety Month, a nationwide program dedicated exclusively to promoting ladder safety at home and work. The annual event takes place every March to raise awareness of ladder safety and help reduce injuries and fatalities caused by ladder misuse.

Ladder related injuries are far too common and often preventable through ongoing training and consistent safety precautions for those working at height. With consistent training and safety protocols in place, these injuries and fatalities can be decreased.

“Ladder safety is an important component of creating a culture of safety,” said Eric Blankinship, Sr. Product Manager for Werner. “For almost a decade, we’ve partnered with ALI for National Ladder Safety Month, but our commitment doesn’t end in March. We offer a variety of online and onsite training to promote ladder safety throughout the year.”

Safety Themed Webinars Every Week in March

The weekly safety themes that will be available throughout the month of March include:

Week One: Training and Awareness

Week Two: Inspection and Maintenance

Week Three: Stabilization, Setup, and Accessories  

Week Four: Safe Climbing and Positioning

Blankinship will host an online webinar focused on Ladder Setup and Pro Tips on March 17 at 12:00 p.m. CST.
