LADDER SAFETY TIPS
AS SIMPLE AS IT MAY SEEM TO USE A LADDER, YOU CAN REMAIN INJURY FREE BY OBSERVING THE “DO’S” AND “DON’TS”. THESE SIMPLE RULES CAN HELP YOU AVOID BECOMING ANOTHER VICTIM OF FALLING FROM A LADDER AROUND THE HOME, OFFICE, OR PRODUCTION AREAS. DO look overhead before placing a ladder, with special attention to power lines and other electrical hazards. DON’T assume the area above the ladder is clear of hazards.
DO climb all ladders facing the rungs. DON’T turn your back to the ladder at any time. DO use a bucket or other means to lift objects to the work area. DON’T carry heavy objects or tools up the ladder.
DO use ladders made of non-conductive material when working around power lines or other electrical hazards. DON’T use aluminum ladders when working around electricity.
DO take the time to retrieve and correctly use the correct ladder for the job. DON’T use improvised climbing devices such as chairs, boxes, or pallets.
DO set up the ladder on the ground, floor, or other level, stable surface. DON’T place a ladder on slippery, cluttered, or unstable surfaces such as boxes, carts, tables, etc.
BELT BUCKLE RULE
DO take your time and climb one rung at a time while using the “3 Point Contact” rule. DON’T hurry up a ladder to complete a task.
WHEN USING A LADDER DO NOT LEAN SO FAR THAT YOUR BELT BUCKLE GOES PAST THE SIDE RAILS.
DO climb down and move the ladder to get proper access to the work area. Keep your belt buckle between the side rails. DON’T overreach beyond the side rails to conduct work.
