STEP TO USE LADDER SAFELY

1

Fully open a stepladder and lock the braces.

2

Make sure that the feet of the ladder, particularly an extension ladder, are on a dry, even surface.

3

Never use an aluminum ladder near live electrical sources.

4

Climb only as high as the ladder is designed for. Never climb past the point where your hips are even with the top of the ladder.

5Hold on to the sides of the ladder as you climb. Store tools in back pockets or a tool belt.

6

Never allow more than one person on a ladder, and don't let anyone stand below you where you can drop something on him or her.

7

Heed all warnings and cautions from the manufacturer. These can be found on yellow or orange safety labels on the side of the ladder.
