Falls from ladders remain one of the leading causes of injury in construction. The good news: most ladder incidents are preventable with proper setup and use. If you’re using an extension ladder on the jobsite, following the correct angle and setup procedures is critical.
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.
On any job site, safe transport of tools, equipment, and materials is just as important as what happens inside the work zone. Too often, accidents happen because cargo wasn’t properly secured.
Many of us have relied on bungee cords and ratchet straps for years. They get the job done—most of the time. But as you know, they also come with their own risks: bungees can snap back with dangerous force, causing severe injury, and ratchets can loosen over time or crush cargo if over-tightened. That’s where newer options like the
TorkStrap come in.
