Step right up

Ever look at a ladder and wonder who is responsible for the standards that govern how ladders are constructed and rated for safety? Well, the American Ladder Institute is here to help answer all your ladder concerns and questions. You can even order the ANSI ASC A 14 documents to fill your brain with even more wacky trivia to impress and bore your friends with. I'm tempted to order "the new-and-improved "Ladder Dude" Ladder Safety Teaching Unit" since it sounds like one of those films we had to endure in grade school and might be worth a good chuckle.
