Avoid carrying your ladder over power lines
Keep an eye out for overhead power lines so that you don't have to carry your ladder over them. Keep in mind that objects made of metal can conduct electricity. You should never assume a power line is dead if you work within six meters. Treat power lines as living things at all times. An electrician's safety can be improved by supporting electrical work at height with Fibreglass Ladders. This non-conductive ladder, which can withstand up to 30,000 volts, has the potential to save a life in the event of an accident.
Stabilizing your ladder
While securing your ladder to upper support does not guarantee that it will not slip, it may assist you in avoiding falling. A ladder should not be secured to plastic surfaces like gutters because the gutters could fall off if the ladder slips.
An accident involving a ladder can be caused by both a ladder's lack of stability and the frequently uneven ground near the ladder. We offer a leveling mat to solve this problem and make it much safer for you to place your ladder on uneven or sloping ground. Our leveling mat also improves traction and prevents the ladder from falling out from under you.
Safety on a step ladder
Although a leaning ladder is generally thought to be more dangerous than Step Ladders, both can be dangerous if assembled incorrectly.
Make sure that all four of your feet touch the ground
Your step ladder's base should touch the ground. There is a greater chance of instability issues on these ladders.
Use a step ladder only for light work
Avoid using heavy tools or materials. They were designed for easy tasks.
To avoid going too far
Only use the bottom three steps if there is a handrail on the top three steps. Overreach regulations apply equally to step ladders and multi-step ladders.
Enable locking mechanisms
If you are concerned about the safety of the step ladder, you should disable the locking mechanisms.
Keep in mind the three-point contact rule
Always use one hand when necessary and ensure that both feet are on the Extension Ladders in accordance with the three-point contact rule. When you need both hands, the ladder can be of assistance. Always focus on the task at hand; Never lean over or work sideways.
