Fall injuries are reportedly the number one cause of workers\u2019 compensation claims in the U.S., as each year more than 9 million American workers<\/a> seek hospital treatment after sustaining a fall accident. While many of these fall accidents occur due to slips or trips that cause people to take a tumble without falling from some height, nearly 50 percent of fall accidents involve people falling from heights of less than 21 feet (according to the Laborers Health and Safety Fund of North America).<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, when fall accidents involve fatal injuries, nearly 3 out of every 4 of these accidents involve falls from roofs, scaffolding and ladders. Below, we will take a closer look at some essential ladder safety tips that can help prevent fall injuries, reduce the number of work accidents sustained by laborers each year and, ideally, save lives and promote increased workplace productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ladder Safety: What You Should and Should NOT Do When Using Ladders<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you regularly use ladders as part of your day-to-day work, then you should make sure that you are familiar with and follow these ladder safety tips so you can minimize your chances of sustaining a serious fall injury:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Denver Workers\u2019 Compensation Attorneys<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Workers who suffer a personal injury on the job desire competent medical treatment and compensation to cover their lost wages as a result of their injuries.
