Ladder related injuries and deaths are becoming more prevalent especially among 50+ year old male users. These injuries occur whilst conducting non-occupational activities (mainly DIY around the home). Ladder instability is the number one cause of ladder accidents, typically as a result of the ladder being positioned on uneven ground or on an unstable surface or structure. Consumers ASSUME the ladder is level and stable – they often over reach to paint, clean, repair or build something.
The current market in ladder accessories does not feature any products utilizing digital technology. Current ladder accessories are primarily mechanical. There are no products designed to identify and monitor the issue of stability, only to correct the issue. Step Smart is a new product designed by Balco Lifestyle to assist with safe ladder use.
