Ladder Safety

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is dedicated to ensure the safety of portable ladder users by developing and disseminating an easy-to-use interactive ladder safety application for smart phones. The NIOSH Ladder Safety application features a multimodal indicator, which uses visual, sound, and vibration signals to assist the user in positioning a ladder at an optimal angle. Furthermore, the application provides graphic-oriented interactive reference materials, safety guidelines and checklists for extension and step ladders selection, inspection, accessorizing, and use. The application is intended to help a wide range of ladder users, employers, and safety professionals, with their ladder-related safety needs. The ladder safety app is also 508 compliant.

Incompatible with current devices (last updated 7 years ago). Phone gives a prompt to look for update but there are none

Unable to get this app to run on my phone...seems to install fine and then before opening, just comes up with an error message. Have uninstalled/reinstalled twice...shame really because it looks like a great app going by the description :(

Looks like it covers all the basic information on leaders, and could be a good training tool.
