It’s Safety Tip Tuesday! Ladder safety is a critical aspect of job sites and facilities such as distribution centers, as falls from ladders are among the leading causes of workplace injuries and fatalities. Proper use, inspection, and placement of ladders can significantly reduce risks. Workers should ensure ladders are stable, free from defects, and used on level surfaces. Overreaching, carrying heavy loads, and exceeding weight limits are common hazards to avoid. To maintain compliance and protect workers, OSHA requires specific ladder safety training as part of their fall protection standards (29 CFR 1926.1053). This training includes proper ladder selection, inspection, setup, and safe climbing practices. Employers must ensure workers understand these guidelines and regularly reinforce safety protocols to create a safer work environment.
