Little Giant Offers Free Ladder Safety Resources

Did you know that one person every day dies in a ladder incident? This may be surprising, but every day, 2,000 people are injured while using ladders and 100 suffer permanent disability. Manufacturer Little Giant Ladder Systems says that instead of hiding from these statistics, it is embracing them to do something to help.

In recognition of National Safety Month, the company has launched a series of ladder safety resources, including free safety training, social media platforms and educational tools to help prevent these fatalities and debilitating injuries. The company's resources include:


"Little Giant’s overriding goal is to prevent injuries and save lives," says Ryan Moss, CEO of Little Giant Ladder Systems and Vice President of the American Ladder Institute. "Moving one person off that injury and death list, saving one life—that is what gets us up in the morning and helps us sleep at night. We want to literally change the world, one ladder at a time."
