Ladder Safety: In the UK, an average of 20 people a year die from ladder falls. The number of people injured in domestic accidents involving ladders has soared by over 60% in the last decade.
Statistics show that 48,000 people in the UK now attend Accident and Emergency departments following a ladder accident in and around the house. Injuries can be severe, and include broken bones and damage to the head. Head injuries occurred in about 2,300 cases, but this is reckoned to be an under-estimate because the characteristics of head injuries are that there may be long term effects which are not obvious and may not be reported or recorded, at the time of initial treatment.
