Ladders

Ladders are devices designed for ascending or descending between different heights safely. Typically made of wood, metal, or fiberglass, they consist of two vertical supports (rails) connected by horizontal steps (rungs). They can be portable, leaning against surfaces or free-standing, and come in various types like step ladders or extension ladders. Ladders are essential tools in construction, maintenance, and household tasks, providing a stable means to reach higher areas while ensuring safety when used correctly. Proper sizing, inspection, and positioning are crucial to preventing accidents during use.
