Ladder safety accessory

Ladder-Spurs, a new Easi-Dec ladder safety accessory from Kee Safety, help ensure that existing ladders are used in compliance with OSHA and CSA standards. Ladder-Spurs prevent outward slip by increasing the size of the base and reducing the chance of a sideways slip from the top of the ladder.

Secured quickly and easily with heavy-duty ratchet straps, the independent spurs wrap around the ladder side rails at the desired height to accommodate sloping ground. Kee Safety, Inc., http://keesafety.com/products/ladder-accessories, (800) 851-5181. Circle 267
