Please see our most recent update to vaping associated lung injury (on Vitamin E Acetate and the CDC update) here: https://youtu.be/Y8USqAzo2HA

Vaping & E-Cigarette related illnesses & deaths have gathered significant media attention. Join Dr. Seheult of https://www.MedCram.com as he illustrates key points about vaping and E cigarette-related acute pulmonary illness & disease symptoms, diagnosis, CXR, and CT scan findings that we understand at this time. More information and studies are needed as vaping deaths and hospitalizations in 2019 continue to rise (some are calling it a “vaping epidemic”). See the second video in this series on the treatment of vaping associated pulmonary injury: https://youtu.be/7TO7Cfi_o38.

There are many reasons why ladders are dangerous. This video will provide you with a better understanding of why ladders in the work place are so dangerous. You will hear from leading experts in the field of fall protection and ladder safety, and see what the possible negative outcomes are if you use ladders inappropriately.

We take ladders for granted because they’re so easy to use. ladders are often the first tool we choose when working at elevation. This approach is known as “Ladders First,” yet more workers are injured in falls from ladders than from any other elevated surface — roofs, scaffolds, balconies, even stairs. Why do workers fall from ladders? Most falls happen because workers select the wrong type of ladder for their job or they set up the ladder improperly and the ladder shifts or slips unexpectedly. Workers also fall when they’re not working safely on the ladder — their foot slips, they lose their balance, they overreach, or something knocks the ladder over. Before choosing a portable
ladder, consider a “Ladders Last” approach when other, often safer options, such as scaffolds, aerial lifts, or mobile ladder stands, are available.
