🚨 National Ladder Safety Month 2027 is coming!

The American Ladder Institute (ALI) is launching the 2027 campaign with a simple but important message: Ladder Safety Starts Here.

And safe climbing starts before the climb.

For 2027, we are taking a direct approach to some of the most common ladder-related safety issues identified in OSHA citations. Each week of National will tackle one of the top five ladder-related citation issues head-on:

🔹 Week One: Safe Access & Egress
🔹 Week Two: Use the Right Ladder for the Right Job
🔹 Week Three: Stay Off the Top Cap
🔹 Week Four: Inspect Before You Climb
🔹 Week Five: Stay Safe While Climbing

Want to help spread the message? Sponsorship opportunities are now available for companies looking to support National Ladder Safety Month and reach audiences across ALI’s campaign channels.
