Ladders remain one of the most common sources of injuries on construction jobsites. Slips, shifts, and unstable ladder placement can quickly lead to falls—often resulting in lost work time, medical costs, and long recovery periods.
One simple way contractors can reduce this risk is by improving ladder stability at the top contact point.
Fall is just around the corner, and with it comes wet leaves, pine needles, moss, and other debris piling up on rooftops. For ROII participants, roof clean-up is a necessary task this time of year—but it can also be one of the most hazardous.
Slips and falls remain one of the leading causes of injuries in construction. On metal roofs, the combination of rain and seasonal debris can quickly create unsafe conditions, even for experienced workers.
As winter fades and spring takes over, safety concerns shift from icy walkways to unpredictable terrain, wet surfaces, and job site hazards. Slips, trips, and falls remain among the top causes of workplace injuries, leading to costly claims and lost productivity. As an employer, prioritizing proactive safety measures helps protect your most valuable asset—your employees.
