is a joint effort between CPWR, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), and the American Ladder Institute and Werner Ladder will focus on several critical topics, including ladder design and environmental factors.

Attendees will first hear from Dr. Kurt Beschorner of the University of Pittsburgh about the latest research on how ladder design, environment, and human factors all impact safety.
