New video focuses on choosing the right ladder for the job
Safe ladder use starts before you climb. This video explains how selecting the right ladder—and setting it up and using it properly—helps keep everyone safe at work.
Our new video, Choose the Right Ladder and Use It Safely, is designed for workers who use ladders on the job. It covers safe work practices such as checking the manufacturer’s label and instructions, inspecting ladders for damage, securing ladders during use, and maintaining three-point contact while climbing. It also highlights when stepladders or extension ladders are appropriate for the task and when a work platform may be a safer option.
Employers are responsible for ensuring workers have the information, instruction, and equipment needed to work safely.
