This is a good video for basic ladder safety. The most common ladder injury is strains and sprains. Lifting and carrying a ladder applies a force to the lower back that is greater than double the weight of the ladder. Ladder Mover is a low-cost solution to carry multiple ladders and supplies in one easy trip, works with any size and type of ladder.

It's time someone spoke up for ladder safety. It's no joke. I've tried to get my roommate interested in ladder safety for YEARS and he just doesn't take it seriously. He says stuff like 'Look, I don't climb on ladders' or 'It's 3am and I need to sleep'. But his excuses are the very thing that will one day work against him. We will see who is laughing when he falls.

Always adhere to safety at the workplace! Yep! 1 foot out for every four feet up for all ladders! 👍⚠️⚠️⚠️

I worked for soooo many slave driving companys who do not care about ladder saftey, just fast work progression. Sadly, one of my last painting jobs had me moving and climbing a 40ft ladder by myself in the foothills of a mountain range. I then was required to cut stucco around multiple windows in order to remove them and install new ones. I quit eventually, but this type of stuff is so common in smaller construction companys. Recently I screwed on of those companys over by reporting them to OSHA

Hi - Im Troy McClure; you may remember me from other work safety promotion videos, such as, "Jackhammer: The Silent Killer" and "Don't Eat The Yellow Snow: Cold Weather Hazards In Construction"

I remember me and my dad did renovations on an old house and we used an old ladder that had a massive split down the middle of the left leg that survived 2 generations of my mothers family. The split would be like 1 inch thick if someone was standing on it and you would hear it cracking even more each time we used it. We used it anyway, lol. We knew it was unsafe but nobody wanted to buy a new ladder. There is no sad ending to this story.

I always bounce my ladder on the wall to see if it slides, and check the ground!

All the ladder safety vids on youtube, and not one shows how to get on and off a ladder.

OSHA rode them hard and eventually that company had to relocate out of state. It does'nt pay to risk people's lives for profit. I for one will make sure of that.

With the number of people who have died from falling off ladders nearly tripling over the last decade, more workers could use more exposure to safety videos.

Odd, the rise in ladder deaths since we now have better quality, and more specialized ladders these days. This perhaps points to a lax attitude on the part of workers, and also more demanding employers pressuring workers to work faster.
