AVOIDING SLIPS, TRIPS AND FALLS

LADDERS SHOULD EXTEND AT LEAST THREE FEET ABOVE YOUR ROOF OR THE SURFACE YOU ARE WORKING WITH. NEVER STAND ON YOUR TOES OR THE TOP RUNG OF THE LADDER. IF YOU HAVE TO DO THIS, THE LADDER IS NOT TALL ENOUGH FOR YOUR PURPOSE. THE SECOND RUNG FROM THE TOP IS AS HIGH AS YOU SHOULD CLIMB ON A STEP LADDER. ONLY USE LADDERS ON FLAT, SOLID SURFACES. WHILE ON THE LADDER, KEEP YOUR BODY WEIGHT CENTERED AND DO NOT OVERREACH. BOTH OF YOUR FEET SHOULD BE SECURELY PLANTED ON THE LADDER AT ALL TIMES.
