- Read and carefully follow all instructions and warning labels. Be aware
of and comply with all codes and regulations.

- Keep your body centered on the ladder. Hold the ladder with one hand while
working with the other hand whenever possible. Never let your belt buckle
pass beyond either ladder rail.
|
 |
- Move materials with extreme caution. Be careful pushing or pulling anything
while on a ladder. You may lose your balance or tip the ladder.
|
 |
- Get help with a ladder that is too heavy to handle alone. If possible,
have another person hold the ladder when you are working on it.
|
 |
- Climb facing the ladder. Center your body between the rails. Maintain a
firm grip.
- Always move one step at a time, firmly setting one foot before moving the
other.
|
 |
- Haul materials up on a line rather than carry them up an extension ladder.
- Use extra caution when carrying anything on a ladder.
