Are you safe when using a ladder?

On this ladder the back rungs are designed for use.

Use the correct ladder for the job. • Non-conductive ladder near power lines or electrical equipment. Inspect the ladder before each use. Only one person should climb at a time. When climbing down a ladder, look before you step off a ladder to obtain a sure, safe footing. Use the correct angle, supports, treads, crossbrace and rails. • Keep ladders free from slipping hazards and place on firm level surface. • Use cross bracing on the rear of a step ladder for climbing only if it is designed for that purpose. Mark defective ladders and remove from service. • For help contact John Tully, x7334 or submit a work request.
