NIOSH ladder safety app now available in Spanish

Washington – NIOSH has released a Spanish-language version of its ladder safety application for mobile devices.

Originally launched in June, the app features a guide for proper ladder selection, inspection, positioning and safe use. When a user’s phone is set to Spanish language, the Spanish version of the app will install when downloaded, NIOSH said in a December email to Safety+Health magazine.

The free app can be downloaded on both iPhone and Android devices.
