Safety Talk: Ladder Safety
- 1. SAFETY TALK Portable Ladder Safety Portable ladders are one of the handiest, simplest tools we use. Because of their effectiveness, ladders are used by many different people to perform many different tasks. Although ladders are uncomplicated, planning and care are still required to use them safely. Each day in the U.S., accidents involving ladders cause an estimated 2,000 injuries requiring emergency medical attention and 1 death per day. Ladder accidents usually are caused by improper selection, care, or use. They are not caused by manufacturing defects. Some of the more common hazards involving ladders, such as instability, electrical shock, and falls, can be predicted and prevented. Prevention requires proper planning, correct ladder selection, good work procedures and adequate ladder maintenance. Electrical shock can occur with metal or wet wooden ladders. Not only is the shock itself dangerous, but it can cause falls resulting in injury. Do not hand-carry loads on a ladder. Do not try reaching so far that you lose your balance; move the ladder. Non-skid feet or spurs may prevent a ladder from slipping on a hard, smooth surface. Do not stand on the ladders top three rungs. A damaged side rail may cause one side of a ladder to give way. Ladders used to reach a walking surface or roof must extend at least 3 feet beyond. Extension ladders need both locks holding to prevent overloading a rail. Step ladders should be securely spread open. Never use a folding step ladder in an unfolded position. PREVENTION TIPS:
