Ladder Safety Month

National Ladder Safety Month, created by the American Ladder Institute (ALI), raises awareness to reduce ladder-related injuries and fatalities. ALI believes ladder accidents are preventable through proper planning, training, and improved product design. The more individuals and organizations involved, the greater the impact. In 2025, ladders ranked as OSHA’s 3rd most cited safety violation, with 2,405 violations.

Goals of Ladder Safety Month:

  1. Decrease number of ladder-related injuries and fatalities

  2. Increase the number of ladder safety training certificates issued by ALI

  3. Increase the frequency that ladder safety training modules are viewed.

  4. Lower the rankings of ladder-related safety citations on OSHA’s yearly Top 10 Citations List

  5. Increase the number of in-person ladder trainings

  6. Increase the number of companies and individuals that inspect and properly dispose of old, damaged or obsolete ladders
