Ladder safety tips
In addition to using the correct ladder safety equipment, you should follow these rules in order to stay safe while using a ladder:
- Inspect your ladder carefully before each use. If you notice any signs of damage, do not use the ladder as it may be unsafe.
- Make sure the ladder is stable. Stand the ladder on a firm, stable surface that is able to support it. Ensure that all locking mechanisms are engaged and that there is nothing nearby that might cause the ladder to tip over (e.g. a closed door that could hit the ladder if opened).
- Go slowly when climbing up and down a ladder. Take your time - rushing makes you more likely to slip and fall.
- Maintain three points of contact with the ladder at all times. For example, both feet and one hand.
- Avoid using ladders in poor weather conditions. Rain can make the rungs / treads of your ladder dangerously slippery, while strong gusts of wind could blow the ladder over.
