Statistically, every year more than 160,000 workers are injured and over 300 deaths result from the improper use, maintenance and falls from ladders due to the lack of safety training and proper use of ladders in the United States.
The American Ladder Institute (ALI) is a not-for-profit association dedicated to promoting safe ladder use. The ALI is comprised of members from the U.S. and Canada who are ladder manufacturers and manufacturers of ladder components.
ALI is the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved developer of ladder safety Standards. Standards are technical specifications, developed and tested by subject experts, which prescribe rules governing the safety construction, design, testing, maintenance care and the use of various types of ladders. http://www.americanladderinstitute.org/
