Step Ladder Racking Ladders are a common cause of household and workplace injuries.
Injuries range from minimal to death.
Each year close to 100,000 people are injured on ladders. In 1993, there were over 12,000 non-fatal injuries listed involving days away from work. In 1997, there were 17 workplace fatalities associated with ladders. Our primary ladder expert, Dr. John Morse, is experienced in a variety of ladders. In addition to expert testimony, Dr. Morse has assisted in the design of ladders, presented papers on ladder safety to the American Society of Agricultural Engineers, and has worked as a product development consultant for ladders.
