Not A Step

Story Behind the Invention

Inventor Calvin Vernon of Mesa, AZ is an occupational health and safety professional with more than 10 years of experience in manufacturing, distribution, and construction. He is now introducing a device that securely holds tools, supplies, and materials on the top step of a ladder, while discouraging its use as a standing platform.

For over a decade, improper ladder use has remained a fixture on OSHAs Top 10 Most Frequently Cited Standards, leading to numerous injuries, fatalities, and significant fines for businesses. Despite training and warning signs, workers often use the top step or cap for extra height, which goes against safety practices and jeopardizes their safety. But now, theres Not A Step!

The invention securely attaches to the top cap of almost any step ladder and provides openings for tools, fasteners, and other supplies that can be filled before climbing begins, freeing up hands and attention for the worker. The main benefit, however, is the removal of the top cap as an option for use, helping workers to make the right decisions for safe ladder use. With convenient carrying handles and simple attachment, Not A Step works to eliminate some of the most common risks associated with step ladder use.
