2 What is Ladder’s Last? Ladder use on Turner Construction projects will be allowed only when it has been determined by Project Manager and Turner Safety Director that it is unfeasible to use all other options to complete the task. If it is determined that a ladder is the only means of performing the job at elevated height, a ladder permit must be submitted prior to starting work. At no time will a ladder be on site without a current permit and safety checklist. Use of job built ladders is prohibited on Turner Construction Projects. Temporary stair towers or prefabricated stairs shall be used to access different building levels.

3 Ladder Policy If it is determined that a ladder must be used:
The subcontractor shall complete the Turner Construction Ladder Use Permit and have it reviewed and approved by the Turner Superintendent. Workers must maintain three points of contact at all times when working from a ladder. If this cannot be done, worker must tie off at any height. When working at a height greater than six (6) feet, 100% fall protection is required. A retractable is the only option in this case. Prior to starting work each shift, The Turner Construction Ladder Safety Inspection Checklist shall be completed and affixed to all ladders. Platform ladders shall be the ladder of choice on Turner Construction projects.(If Permitted) Prior to using a ladder, the Turner Superintendent will review and approve the Job Hazard Analysis, Pre Task Plan, and Ladder Use Permit.

4 SE Results

5 Ohio Results

6 Ladder Injury Facts Over 500,000 ladder-related injuries in the U.S. annually (American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons) 300 of those people die Majority happen while descending (32%) 2.8 times as likely to be hurt descending vs. ascending 10% - carrying or handling the ladder Leading trades: Plumbing/HVAC followed by electrical Large loss driver for the company CCIP Program

7 Eliminating Loss Drivers through Ladders Last
Ladders Last Eliminating Falls Workers on Working Platforms Surrounded by Fall Protection Requiring the Use of Platform Ladders Only as a Last Resort Benefits of Passive Protection Reduced Task Time by Factor of 3 No Setup Required Eliminates Material Handling Eliminates Fall Hazard End Result: Multiple hazards reduced or eliminated while accelerating schedule

8 Benefits of Ladder’s Last
Fewer serious injuries and catastrophic claims Improved fall protection Better ergonomics Tools/materials on the platform More productive Easier installation of materials No wood ladders - green Ergo: No more carrying heavy ladders around (10% of all ladder injuries). Flat platform to stand on. Less twisting. Less effort spent balancing. Stability. Greener. Has nothing to do with injury prevention but still sounds cool, right?

9 Implementation Strategy
Preplan to eliminate need for ladders Construct at ground-level and then raise to final elevation Install permanent stairs ASAP Use personnel hoists and elevators Substitute safer alternatives for ladders

10 Off-Site Construction

11 Install Permanent Stairs ASAP
Early release of stair package Follow up with fabricator Buy immediate install with each deck Buy immediate pan fills Need two means of egress Eliminating gang-ladders and the need for scaffold-stair towers.

22 When a ladder is necessary…
When a ladder is the only way to do the job: PTP. Get a ladder permit. Competent Person evaluates Fall Protection. 3 points of contact or tie-off. >6’ requires tie-off. Use retractable to limit fall distance.
