- ladder safety
- extension ladder shimming
- ladder foot orientation
- ladder-to-roof transition
- dismounting a ladder
- carrying an extension ladder
What it concludes
- Digging down one side of an extension ladder with a form setter is better than shimming the other side.
- Ladder feet should be oriented to get full bearing on a flat surface while digging into dirt rather than sliding out.
- When climbing an extension ladder, keeping hands on the rungs provides a better chance of holding weight if you slip.
- The ladder must extend at least three feet above the edge of the roof platform for a safe transition.
- When mounting or dismounting a roof, step on the last rung still below the contact point rather than stepping up onto the top.
- When carrying an extension ladder, let it down, place hands far apart, and brace the top hand against your forehead.
