Safely using a ladder
• Use the correct ladder for the job not too big or too small and check load capacities.
• Take the time to get the right size and type ladder and not the most available one.
• Consider the use and the need for a non-conductive ladder.

Getting Started• Determine the size
and type of ladder you will need
• Will you be working with or around electrical energy? If so, a non-conductive ladder will be required
• Watch out for overhead Bus Bars

Proper Storage• Ladders should be
stored in a safe place.
• Kept Chained to prevent falling.
• All our HERL ladders are fiberglass.
• We do not use extension Ladders

Set-up Considerations
• Make sure that ladder is placed on an even surface and that the ground is not too soft to prevent sinking
• Use the 4 to 1 ratio against a base for straight or extension ladders
• Extend straight or extension ladders 3 rungs above the roof surface.
• Tie off ladders against the building if working above 12 feet

Consider the Land Down-under
• Barricade off area below your ladder so pedestrians don’t walk into or under your ladder while your on it.
• Also you may drop something and injure someone passing by below you.

Climbing tips
• Keep at least one foot and one hand on the ladder at all times
• Hold the side rails not the rungs when climbing or decending a ladder
• Only take one step at a time
• Do not stand on the top step of a “A-frame” ladder.

Moving a Ladder
• Never attempt to move a ladder while you are on it (rock-n-roll, or hip-hop)
• Take the time to move a ladder instead of “over-reaching” your position.
• If your body is outside the rails you are over-reaching
