Ladder safety and how it affects everyone

How Do Most Common Ladder Accidents Happen?

  1. Overreaching
  2. Missing the last step when climbing down

Avoid overreaching while using a ladder. You could lose your balance and the ladder could topple over, causing a fall.

Be sure to use the last step when you climb down. Skipping over the last step could lead to a fall if you trip.
