Another week, another news report about someone falling off a ladder while hanging holiday lights. You may think it can’t happen to you. But every holiday season, about 18,400 people are treated in emergency rooms annually for Christmas decoration-related injuries, with ladder falls accounting for at least half of these incidents. Nearly half involve falls. For Indiana homeowners, the risk is real. Christmas light ladder accidents send too many people to emergency rooms each December.
When you hang exterior lighting, you are already working with a disadvantage. Cold weather makes ladder rungs slippery. Grass and soil become uneven or frozen. Your gloves reduce grip, and reaching too far throws off your balance.
Professionals avoid these hazards by using the right equipment and following strict ladder safety protocols . Trained crews work at height every day. You stay on solid ground where you belong.
Most people underestimate the risk of heights. A fall from even a few feet can cause fractures or head injuries. Coupled with electrical safety issues like overloaded circuits and frayed wires, the stakes are even higher . You may not notice a damaged socket until you plug it in . Mixing water and electricity outdoors adds another layer of danger.
When you climb a ladder alone, nobody is there to spot you or call for help if something goes wrong. Hospitals see a rise in injuries from holiday decorating every year . If you are injured and cannot work, it can have a financial impact on your family.
