🍂 Fall is Here! Stay Safe on Ladders 🍂

Cooler weather means more outdoor chores — hanging decorations, cleaning gutters, and pruning trees. Before you climb, remember these ladder safety tips:

✅ Inspect your ladder for damage before use
✅ Set it on a firm, level surface
✅ Keep three points of contact while climbing
✅ Don’t overreach — move the ladder instead
✅ Wear slip-resistant shoes

A few small precautions can prevent big injuries.
