Voted Sixth Year in a Row
A new downloadable Ladder Safety app is intended to cut down on the number of work accidents in Kentucky and nationally.
Falls are a persistent hazard in all types of job settings. A fall can occur during the simple act of walking or climbing stairs.
Many accidents happen because ladders are not positioned or used properly. Others occur because the ladder is defective.
A free Ladder Safety app for mobile devices can help.
The app, available from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, features information and graphics on ladder selection, inspection, positioning, accessorizing and safe use.

A total of 605 workers were killed and an estimated 212,760 were seriously injured by falls in 2009, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The most frequent fall-related deaths occur in construction accidents. Other high-risk jobs include healthcare support, retail jobs, building maintenance, transportation, material moving and mining.
Fall injuries carry a heavy financial burden. Workers’ compensation and medical costs associated with occupational falls in the U.S. are estimated at approximately $70 billion annually.
If you are injured in a job-related fall, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation and other benefits. Get a free consultation with a Kentucky workers’ compensation attorney today.
