We Use Them Every Day
When used correctly they can be one of the most valuable pieces of equipment on the job.
When used incorrectly they can be one of the most dangerous pieces of equipment on the job.
They can get you to places you can’t reach and also to places you need to go.
They come in all shapes and sizes, and they are used in every industry.
What am I talking about? Ladders.
If you’ve used a ladder at work or at home, there is a good chance you have used it incorrectly and maybe even fallen off one before.
Maybe you stood on “This Is NOT a STEP.”
Or you were working on an extension ladder and needed to reach just a little farther to the left, so you stretched out to reach the area.Or better yet, you hopped the ladder a little to the left.
Or you set a ladder on a pitched roof to gain access to the next level without anything preventing the ladder from kicking out. (I’ve seen that happen and it didn’t end well.)
But as I said above, when you use them correctly, they are one of the most valuable pieces of equipment on the job.
So, I wanted to let everyone know that March is Ladder Safety Month and it’s a great time to remind us of the value of using a ladder correctly.
To help everyone make that happen we are providing our online Ladder Safety course for free to everyone.
For your employees to take the training for free, you can sign them up for the course between March 7-20. Then they can take the course anytime during or after the signup dates.
If you are a current client using our training system just log into your account beginning the 7th of March and sign as many employees up for the training as you would like.
If you are not a current client or are a client that is currently not using our training system, you can also sign as many employees up as you would like.
There is not cost, no Credit Card required or obligation to purchase anything.
To sign employees up, login to your account or sign up for free credits.
