There are several types of ladders you can use, and if you don’t use them correctly, they can be dangerous. Properly setting up Step Ladders is important when it comes to using them successfully… Follow these tips to make sure you are using your ladder correctly after you have set it up correctly.

Climbing a ladder

While climbing or descending, always face the ladder. Make sure that you keep your body cenetered between the side rails and that your knees do not extend beyond the top of the ladder.

Holding three points of contact while ascending and descending ladders is always a good idea. At all times, it is important to have two feet and one hand on the ladder or two hands and one foot on the ladder. You should always maintain a firm grasp on the Ladders. Climbing the ladder should always be done with both hands.
