Did you know that 30% of all fatalities that occur in the workplace happen as a result of a fall from height? The main cause of ladder injuries include:
- Poor or lack or pre-use inspection
- Incorrect setup
- Incorrect ladder use
- Poor understanding of surroundings
So, how do we combat this and raise awareness surrounding ladder safety? This is where The Ladder Association comes in with their 2022 Roof Ladder Survey - and you can be a part of it!
The 2022 Roof Ladder Survey: Take Part!
The Ladder Association is a not-for-profit industry body dedicated to promoting the safe use of portable ladders. They have released a short online survey asking roof ladder users to anonymously share information about their ladder usage, such as:
- Frequency of use
- Positioning
- Use of personal fall protection
Why should I take part in the survey?
By completing the short survey, you will contribute to raising awareness surrounding ladder safety. Not only that, but the survey aims to gain a better understanding of roof ladders from a user's perspective in order to develop more effective ladder safety training.
The results will be used by The Ladder Association to collaborate with ladder manufacturers, regulators and the wider industry to prevent falls from height when using roof ladders.
