WernerCo, the world leader in ladders and manufacturer of a complete line of climbing products and fall protection equipment, conducted 75 trainings that aligned with OSHA’s (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) annual Safety Stand Down Initiative. Fatalities caused by falls account for more than 1/3 of all construction deaths and many of these can be prevented with proper training and education.
To raise awareness, the annual OSHA Safety Campaign focuses on the top 10 most frequently cited OSHA violations in order to prevent accidents such as falls from ladders or structural steel. In support of this initiative, WernerCo trained more than 5,000 end users in job site safety over the course of the eleven-day campaign that took place in May 2015.
