Ladder Safety• Using ladders safely is not as obvious as
you might think• More maintenance and construction
workers are killed and injured by falls from ladders than by other types of falls
• Each one of us who have used a ladder has been in a tippy situation at least once
• The safe operating parameters of ladders are very narrow
Before you climb a ladder:
• Choose the right ladder for the job– Never use a closed step ladder as a
straight ladder• If you will need to move around on a
ladder, carry lots of materials, or use heavy equipment, a ladder may not be appropriate– You might be better off using an aerial
lift or scaffolding• Keep the area around the ladder base
free of clutter
Before you climb a ladder: • Make sure a straight ladder is one
foot away from the vertical support for every four feet of ladder height between the base support and the top support (4:1 ratio)
• Position the ladder so that the base won't slip outwards
• Some ladders have an ‘L’ painted on the side. When the L is in the vertical position (‘reading position’), it is at the proper angle
Before you climb a ladder:
• Tie a straight ladder as close to the upper support point as possible
• A straight ladder must extend three feet beyond (above) the edge or support point when using a ladder to reach a roof or platform
• Make sure stepladders are fully open and the spreader is locked into its correct position
• Keep your body facing the ladder at all times, centered between the stiles.
Before you climb a ladder:
• Don’t reach too far forwards or sideways, or stand with one foot on the ladder and the other one on something else – Belt Buckle Rule: Don’t move
outside of the rails– Move the ladder and re-secure it if
necessary to avoid overstretching, however frustrating or time consuming that might be!
Before you climb a ladder:
• Keep both hands free to hold the ladder while you're climbing or descending - if you need to carry any tools, use a shoulder bag, belt holster or belt hooks – It’s best to use a rope to lift or to
lower any objects• Only one person on a stepladder
at a time
Before you climb a ladder:
• Do not tie or fasten ladders together to make longer sections
• Don’t use ladders as a brace, skid, guy or gin pole, gangway, or for other uses than that for which they were intended, unless specifically recommended for use by the manufacturer.
• Don’t climb the cross-bracing on the rear section of stepladders unless the ladders are designed and provided with steps for climbing on both front and rear sections
Before you climb a ladder:
• Don’t place planks on the top step of stepladders
• Don’t use a ladder if the labels are unreadable
• Don’t paint a ladder• Always inspect before use• Both feet of the ladder must be
firmly on the ground
Before you climb a ladder:
• Don’t stand or work on the top 2 rungs or cleats of a step ladder or the top 3 rungs of a straight ladder.
• Don’t put ladders in passageways, doorways, driveways, or any location where they may be displaced by activities being conducted on any other work, unless protected by barricades or guards.
Before you climb a ladder:
• Keep the front end above head height when carrying – Look and turn carefully
• Fall protection must be properly worn at the lab when working above 4 feet on a ladder if you cannot maintain three points of contact or if the ladder is next to a greater fall distance. Construction workers (not craft workers) are allowed 6 feet.
