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.

Ladders are a very handy tool, both at work and around the home.  They are used for tasks such as changing light bulbs and painting, to working at high levels or to reach elevated work areas.  Ladders are such simple tools that many people forget the dangers involved when using a ladder.  Falls are the leading cause of death in the construction industry and the misuse of ladders is one of the leading causes of fall-related injuries every year.
