Ladder Safety Month
March is Ladder Safety Month and Transworld Electric is proud to be supporting the fifth annual National Ladder Safety Month. This important national initiative will heighten awareness and promote the safe use of ladders.
Every year, thousands of people are injured through the misuse of ladders. National Ladder Safety Month will heighten awareness of safe ladder use, reinforce safety training and educate homeowners and working professionals.
At Transworld Electric, we believe ladder safety and proper ladder safety training is invaluable. Transworld Electric is excited to be taking part in this initiative by sharing important ladder safety tips below and throughout the entire month on our social media pages.
Please join us in spreading awareness about the importance of ladder safety at home and at work. Below are some resources that the American Ladder Institute has shared to educate the community during Ladder Safety Month.
