Ladder safety - a simple guide
| Posted on February 2, 2013 at 5:00 PM |
Ladder
safety do’s
and don’ts According
to the Health and Safety Executive, falls from ladders account for
more than a quarter of all falls from height.The
sad thing is, most of these could easily be avoided if some simple
safety procedures were followed.To
help make sure you aren’t the victim of an injury (or worse), here
are some guidelines for using ladders from www.brownsladders.co.uk for you to follow: DO: Ensure your ladders are fit for purpose before using them. Thoroughly
check for any defects. Place ladders on a solid and even surface as possible. Whatever you
do, don’t let them sit on slippery surfaces. When using a step ladder, lock the spreaders into place before
ascending the ladder. Maintain your grip with both hands on the ladder, and face it when
climbing. Use a tool belt or pulley system instead of carrying tools up
ladders. Lean the ladders at the correct angle – as specified in the ladder
instructions. DO
NOT:Use the top two rungs of any ladder. If you need to go further up,
just get a longer ladder. Allow more than one person on the ladder at a time. Overreach! Climb down and reposition the ladder if you feel the need
to. Work near electricity of overhead hazards, especially with a metal
ladder. Put
the ladder in high traffic areas unless there is no alternative. If
it is, make sure if is cornered off to prevent collisions. Lean a step ladder against a wall like you would with a normal
ladder. Following these simple rules will keep you safe and avoid costly accidents. |

One may say that essay writing is easy as ABC. It should seem that successful essay need nothing more than sheet of paper and a pen, however, there is not an atom of truth in this statement.

Above all, we should put our safety at the top of our priorities. Thank you for sharing this tip, it's very helpful. This information can actually save life. We should have more of this kind of articles. Many people are trying to improvise and customize their ladders in order to fit for their needs which is wrong. Instead of doing that, it's better to buy a new one that suits to our need. It's just a small amount of money compared to the medical bills that you're going to pay if we use those improvised ladder.
