Safety Do's, Don't's and Tips
Safety Do's, Dont's and Tips

Safety Do's

Keep your body centered on the ladder.

Hold the ladder with one hand while working with the other hand whenever possible. Never let your belt buckle pass beyond either ladder rail

Move materials with extreme caution.

Be careful pushing or pulling anything while on a ladder. You may lose your balance or tip the ladder

Safety Dont's

DON'T stand above the highest safe standing level

DON'T stand above the second step from the top of a stepladder and the 4th rung from the top of an extension ladder. A person standing higher may lose their balance and fall.

Safety Tips

Fully open the stepladder and firmly lock both spreaders

Position the ladder so you can face your work and do not have to lean sideways

Be sure that all ladder feet are on firm, level ground.

Don't place a ladder on slippery surfaces or place loose materials underneath a ladder. Solid footing is necessary for safe ladder use
