Ladder Safety Tips from Billy Spencer

There are specific procedures that you will want to follow to decrease any accidents including slips, trips and falls.

The below are everyday guidelines:

• Always face the ladder while climbing
• Always place your foot on the rung (the horizontal support on the ladder for your foot) so that the front edge of your heel is against the rung
• Always center your weight by keeping your belt buckle within the side rails of the ladder.
• Always hold on to the ladder with both hands while climbing
• Always hold on to the ladder with one hand while working
• Always maintain 3 points of contact with the ladder at all times
