In fact, between 2015 and 2019, there were 9,241 accepted lost-time injury claims in Ontario due to falls from ladders, with 18 of those claims resulting in fatalities.
Fall Protection and Ladder safety training provides workers with the necessary knowledge and skills to safely use fall protection equipment and maintain ladders, reducing the risk of falls and other accidents.
