National Ladder Safety Month Encourages Time for Training

March 4, 2024

March is National Ladder Safety Month, a time set aside not only for ladder safety awareness, but, according to the American Ladder Safety Institute (ALI), for ladder safety training as well.

In a recent press release, ALI has invited those responsible for employee safety to use this month to register for its free online Ladder Safety Training.

According to ALI, the website makes safety training easy with an organized curriculum, video, and other resources, all available year round and free of charge. The training courses are designed to complement and integrate with an organization’s existing training program. Managers can choose and use as many or as little courses as they want or need.

After signing up, trainers can develop a custom dashboard called a Trainer’s Toolbox, in which they select training and testing, assign them to trainees, and monitor trainee performance and progress on the assignments. These dashboards can track everything from a handful of trainees for smaller organizations all the way up to hundreds for larger enterprises.

Topics covered include single and extension, articulated, mobile, and stepladders, with courses available in English or Spanish.

The four weeks of Ladder Safety Month allows ALI to take deep dives annually into different aspects of ladder safety, focusing on one topic each week. Here are this year’s topics:

  • Week One: Training and Awareness
  • Week Two: Inspection and Maintenance
  • Week Three: Stabilization, Setup, and Accessories
  • Week Four: Safe Climbing and Positioning.

For more information and to register for the free training, visit ALI’s Ladder Safety Training website.
