Safety
Some other safety tips:
✔
Get a responsible person to hold the base of the ladder.
✔
Be aware of electrical power lines and try to avoid working near them
at all times.
✔
Look out for objects around the ladder that could shake or make the
ladder slip - example, a swaying tree.
✔
Beware of sudden gusts of high wind.
✔
Ensure the ladder is long enough for the job.
✔
Safety feet must be fitted to the ladder before each use.
✔
Ask for assistance when using a heavy ladder. To avoid the ladder
shifting and swaying, set it up on level ground or use a leg leveller.
✔
If the ground is soft use a wide board under the feet.
✔
The proper set up angle to use for a straight ladder is a 4 to 1 ratio or
75° angle approximately.
✔
Check that your shoe soles and the ladder rungs are not slippery.
✔
When climbing the ladder always face it.
✔
Work well below the top of the ladder.
✔
Secure the ladder at the top and bottom if possible.
✔
Do not overreach. Move the ladder!
✔
Have one hand on the ladder at all times.
✔
Use a line to take up tools rather than carrying them.
✔
Be just as careful on a short stepladder as you would be on a 30 foot
extension ladder. False security can lead to carelessness and falls
that can cause serious injuries, even death.
