Ladder Safety System
Stop ladder falls from occuring
The system prevents people from losing their balance and falling
PATENTED
The Ladder Safety System has physical parts that stop people from losing their balance
The upper rungs have extended steps that mimic the floor
These steps stop the fall because the foot hits these plates and people don’t lose their balance.
Falls occur when people mistakenly think they are on a rung that is just above the floor
The first problem is moving a foot backward thinking it will hit the floor
When on a higher rung (second or third rung), the leg doesn’t hit the floor and the person starts to fall
When the fall starts, the leg moves to the side causing the person to lose balance and fall
The Ladder Safety System has physical parts that stop people from losing their balance.
•The upper rungs have extended steps that mimic the floor
•These steps stop the fall because the foot hits these plates and people don’t lose their balance.
There can be more step extensions on higher rungs
Second step extension can be 10” or more
First step extension can by 15 “ or more
Side panel
Side panels stop people from extending their leg out from the ladder
The leg bumps into the side panel and then retracts to the step
This prevents people from losing their balance by stepping of the ladder.
