السلامة عند استخدام السلالم في البيئات الصناعية

Ladders are one of the most commonly used pieces of equipment in almost any work environment. From common stepladders to sophisticated extension ladders, they can be found almost everywhere. OSHA believes 100% of all ladder accidents could be prevented if proper attention to equipment and climber training were provided. This course is designed to show you how to use ladders safely.

A ladder is a piece of equipment consisting of repeated bars or steps called rungs. Ladders can be constructed from metal, wood, or fiberglass and are used for climbing up or down something to access things that are out of our reach. Different ladders have different uses and are used in almost every industry. Ladder accidents are extremely common even though they are entirely preventable. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), approximately 20 percent of fall injuries involve ladders, and among construction workers, an estimated 81 percent of fall injuries treated in hospital emergency rooms involve a ladder.
