NIOSH ladder safety smart phone app is a finalist for Innovation Award
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)’s ladder safety smart phone app is a finalist in the national HHS Innovates awards contest. The app addresses the major causes of ladder falls by placing a number of interactive and easy-to-use graphic-oriented safety tools, checklists and guides into the hands of ladder users wherever and when they are needed.
The HHS Innovates program recognizes and celebrates internal innovations by employees and promotes them across the Department as well as to the public. The public voting period to help select “The People’s Choice” will take place May 29 - June 6, 2014. Vote here http://www.hhs.gov/idealab/innovate/ladder-safety-niosh-has-an-app-for-that/.
