March is , and it is a good time to revisit one of the most important basics of ladder safety: proper setup.

Earlier this month, we shared a short video explaining the 4:1 ladder rule—a simple way to position an extension ladder safely. If you want a more detailed breakdown of how and why it works, this article walks through the full setup step-by-step.

Setting the correct angle helps keep the ladder stable and reduces the risk of slips or tip-overs on the jobsite.

Unexpected ICE workplace visits are increasing, and how your team responds in the first few minutes can matter.

A free webinar, "Ice at the Jobsite," hosted by Employer Solutions Law will walk employers through what to do if ICE agents arrive at a jobsite. Attorney Brian Padgett will cover what ICE agents can and cannot do, the difference between judicial and administrative warrants, employee rights, I-9 audits, and how to create a clear internal response protocol.

This session is designed for employers in higher-risk industries and provides practical steps to help protect your workforce, maintain compliance, and minimize disruption if ICE appears onsite.

🪜 is a good time to ask: Are there tools or equipment upgrades that could further reduce risk for your crew?

The Stop-A-Ladder is designed to help prevent extension ladders from slipping on slick surfaces like plastic, wood, concrete, and composite decking — even when wet.

It attaches to the bottom rung with an adjustable strap and allows for easier repositioning along a wall.

If you’re reviewing your ladder safety practices, this may be one option worth considering to improve stability and help reduce fall risk.
