Every Step Matters

As the weather warms up and the homebuilding industry once again kicks into top gear, the American Ladder Institute would like to turn the jobsite focus to working – and more specifically, climbing – safely.

Naturally everyone on site knows how to properly use a ladder – but sometimes it’s a matter of speed over caution when trying to meet a tight deadline, or focus being placed on social distancing concerns rather than previously followed procedures. Despite innate knowledge and good intentions, it’s easy to lose sight of safety.

While the end of March, which is also National Ladder Safety Month, is right around the corner, it’s still a good time to review the basics of proper ladder use. Check out this article from NAHB for helpful tips and informative links, to assure you and your crew work smart and stay safe!
