Ladder Safety Stand-Down

Ladder Safety Stand-Down

Join FFVA Mutual’s 2023 Safety Campaign

Every employer has on-site ladders and step ladders but many times, ladder safety is taken for granted. Using a ladder takes more than common sense, it takes awareness and training. FFVA Mutual’s Ladder Safety Stand-Down focuses on preventing ladder related injuries at work and the importance of fall prevention.

According to OSHA, falls from portable ladders (step, straight, combination and extension) are one of the leading causes of occupational fatalities and injuries. We’re here to help you prevent ladder related injuries at your workplace.
