Stairways and ladders frequently cause injuries among construction workers, with about half of incidents resulting in time off work. Proper safety guidelines include uniform steps and railings that can withstand 200 pounds of force, as well as clear access points and fall protection above 19 inches. Ladders should be inspected, used at the correct angle, not overloaded, and have secure footing, rungs spaced 10-14 inches apart, and railings 11.5 inches apart. Employers must train workers on safe practices for erecting, maintaining and using stairways and ladders.Safe use of ladders

Ladders and stepladders are not banned for work use but require a risk assessment. They may be suitable for short duration, low-risk tasks if fall protection like securing the ladder cannot be reasonably used. A pre-use check of ladders is required to ensure they are safe, with defects making them unsafe for use. Ladders should be positioned at a 75 degree angle and not worked off the top three rungs or beyond the ladder's safe reach. Stepladders require keeping two feet on the same step and maintaining three points of contact.Construction laddersafety

This concept proposal from UnityNet International introduces a油paradigm shift in global peace and security, moving beyond traditional military defense.
It advocates for the creation of油"Green Helmets" or "Living Helmets,"油which are Regenerative Peacekeeping Forces (#RPFs) focused on油regenerative development, climate resilience, and foundational human security.
These forces would deploy with resources like green infrastructure and water systems to assist communities, rather than weapons, aiming to prevent conflict by addressing root causes such as resource scarcity and climate instability.
The proposal suggests establishing a油Ministry of Peace and Foundational Security油within member states to coordinate these efforts and reallocate national budgets to prioritize regenerative, civilian peacekeeping alongside military defense.
