Ladder Safety

Ladder safety involves using ladders carefully to prevent accidents and injuries. Always choose the right ladder for the job, ensuring it’s stable and on a flat surface. Inspect the ladder for any damage before use, and avoid overreaching while on it; maintain three points of contact (two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand) for balance. Never use a ladder in bad weather or on slippery surfaces. For tall jobs, consider using a scaffold. Following these guidelines helps minimize the risk of falls and promotes safe working practices.
