Monday Accident & Lessons Learned: Broken Leg caused by Fall From Ladder Cost Company $2.4 Million

The Chicago Tribune reported “Fall from ladder nets Merrillville man $2.4 million jury verdict.”

Part of the reason that the company was found liable is that the ladder was “out of code.” It had been produced before standards for ladders were developed. 

Have any old ladders out there that need to be replaced?
