Ladder Safety
Deaths in the US due to ladders in 2020 (BLS)
Injuries in the US from ladders in 2020. (BLS)
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports 161 fatal work injuries and 22,710 non-fatal injuries in 2020 from which ladders were the primary source across all industries. All agricultural operations have structures with fixed ladders, stairs, and/or elevated work platforms; use some type of portable ladder; and/or have equipment/vehicles with some sort of step to mount/dismount. The daily use of ladders creates numerous opportunities for injury. Understanding and recognizing hazards posed by ladders, as well as consistently practicing recognized safety strategies reduces the risk of injury and/or fatality due to unsafe ladder use.
