Men In Kilts takes safety seriously (not like this guy...ouch!)

Fri, 12 Nov 2010 14:00:00 -0800

As Men In Kilts enters into the fall gutter cleaning season for we want everyone to think a little about saftey.

Every year we get calls to finish a job after an accident has occured and it is really sad that thousands of homeowners fall from ladders when it was totally preventable. Consumer Reports in fact states 180,000 people in the US alone have ladder accidents every year. Take a moment to prepare yourself for proper ladder safety before starting the climb to do your gutter cleaning. Here are some good ladder safety tips: http://blogs.consumerreports.org/home/2009/06/ladder-safety-dtv-transition-multiuse-telescoping-extension-ladders.html.

This guy forgot to check if the ladder was locked... Ouch!
