Rosie's answer
Published by SALUSHere are three key safety reminders for using A-frame ladders:
- Inspect the ladder before use: Look for any visible defects such as broken or missing rungs, split rails, or corrosion 2, 5. Ensure the ladder is in good condition before each use .
- Maintain three points of contact: When climbing or descending, always face the ladder and maintain three points of contact (two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand) 7, 9, 15.
- Use the ladder for its intended purpose: Ladders should only be used for the purposes for which they were designed 2, 10. Avoid using the top or top step of a stepladder as a step 5, 7, 11.
