American Ladder Institute Ramps up for National Ladder Safety Month
The American Ladder Institute is gearing up for its annual ladder safety blitz, National Ladder Safety Month.
 |
Held every March, it is a program dedicated exclusively to promoting ladder safety at home and work.
The 2026 observance will mark the event’s 10th anniversary with the theme “10 Years of Safer Climbing.”
The American Ladder Institute, the only approved developer of safety standards for the U.S. ladder industry, reminds everyone that ladder safety remains a critical and preventable issue on jobsites across the country.
In 2026 the awareness campaign focuses on five key topics: Choosing the Right Ladder (week one); Check Before You Climb (week two); Set It Up Safely (week three); Climb Safely, Work Safely (week four); and Safe Steps with Stepstools (week five).
Ladders are among the most used tools in construction, often taken for granted. The American Ladder Institute urges contractors, construction crews, and safety professionals to refocus attention on training, equipment inspection, and safe climbing practices.
National Ladder Safety Month is an opportunity for every jobsite stakeholder to take the time to review procedures and recommit to keeping workers safe. At the heart of each campaign is the institute’s own ladder safety training, available all year long at laddersafetytraining.org for all types of ladders.
