Hey everyone,
Our newest blog is all about safety on our ladders, please read below for more information!
Being safe whilst using ladders is a matter that must be taken very seriously, as one wrong move or bad decision could be devasting. Below are some straightforward steps you should always take when handling and climbing extension ladders, to maximise the effectiveness of the ladder, and most importantly provide safety to the user. Thus ensuring that when you use ladders, especially with extensions that you do so in an efficient way, getting the task in hand completed without complications.
- Be prepared
When using ladders be ready both with the correct safety attire, such as suitable shoes etc, and have at least one other person on hand to provide the additional support you will need. Be aware of the type of ladder you will be using, what its capabilities are and how it is set up, as well as what its limitations are. Try to avoid using ladders in bad weather as this is an additional hazard that is best avoided, so your best bet is to check the weather forecast to try and opt for a day without rain. Do these things before climbing because when you’re high up the ladder it could be too late.
