Ladder safety

Anchor secure  the top of the ladder when the 3-4 foot extension is not possible.

Place the ladder base 1/4 the height of the wall from the wall when using  a straight ladder.

Use tool belts or land lines to carry objects.Climb and descend ladders cautiously.

Face ladder and hold on with both hands.

Carry tools on belts or raise and lower with hand line.

Check shoes or rungs  for slippery surfaces.

Do not lean out from the ladder if any direction.


 If you have fear of heights don't claim ladder.

Do not allow others to work under the ladder in use. 

Always hold on with one hand and never reach too for to either side or rear to maintain balance.

Never climb higher than second step from top on a step ladder or third from the top on a straight ladder.


Never attempt to move,shift or extend ladder while in use.
