The mission of the American Ladder Institute (ALI) is to promote the safe use of our products as well as advance the common business interests of our members through a commitment to: • Developing and disseminating the A14 standards. • Educating the public as to the proper selection, care, and safe use of ladders. • Representing the interests of its members.
The American Ladder Institute (ALI) is a not-for-profit association dedicated to promoting safe ladder use through producing and sharing safety materials and through its ladder safety training certificate program, LadderSafetyTraining.org. ALI represents the common business interests of its members who are affiliated with the ladder and ladder component manufacturing industry as well as allied associations and organizations.
ALI is the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved developer of the A14 ladder safety Standards. Standards are technical specifications, developed and tested by subject experts, which prescribe rules governing the safety construction, design, testing, care, and use of various types of ladders.
ALI was founded in 1947 and has evolved to fit the needs of membership as the industry has changed. Construction materials and processes have developed according to changes in usage, duty ratings, and industry need.
