Ladder Safety 
The magic formula for ladder safety is one in four. This means that for every
four feet of height you are going up, the base of the ladder should be one foot
away from the wall the ladder is resting on. This angle will ensure you have a
ladder that is not too steep to climb, but is still straight enough that it
won't bow in the middle when there is weight on it.
How High Can You Go on a Aluminum Ladder?
All Aluminum ladders have a
maximum working height that is less than their length. The following is a table
of Extendable ladder lengths and their theoretical maximum working height:
In reality the maximum height that a Climb ladder can safely reach is reduced by
the angle at which the xtend and climb ladder must be set up. Be sure your
extendable ladder is long enough to safely reach the height you need with a
minimum of 3 feet extending over the roofline or past the working height. Also
remember the top three rungs of a straight, single or extension ladder should
never be stood on.
Rating Ladders
Yes, Underwriter's Laboratory (UL)
tests and certifies ladders. Be sure that any type (Telescopic ladders ,
Portable Ladder , Loft access ladders , step ladders , Frame ladders ,
Decorating ladder , Telesteps / Tele steps , Aluminums ladders, cheap ladder ,
Bargain ladder , xtend & Climb ladders, building ladders , labors ladders or
laborers ladder ) you use has the UL seal as your assurance that your ladder has
been tested and is safe.
How to choose a Ladder?
In addition, ladders are rated based on
their ability to provide support for a load (that's the weight of the climber
plus any load being carried). Most ladders sold for household use are Type III
light duty. You should make your ladder choice based on your planned usage.
Ladder Fundamental
Probably the most important ladder fundamental you need
to keep in mind is this:
If you are uncomfortable about
doing something, don't do it. Stay safe; hire a professional who knows what they
are doing. Don't let yourself become one of those statistics.
Last
year 13 workers died from falls while working on a ladder, and more than 1200
suffered major injuries. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) announced a
national initiative to promote safe use of ladders. Who is authorized to give
certificate for any type of ladders like Telescopic ladder , Portable Ladders ,
Loft access ladder , step ladder , Frame ladder , Decorating ladders , Telestep
/ Tele step , Aluminium ladder, cheap ladders , Bargain ladders , xtend &
Climb ladder, building ladder , laboures ladder or labourers ladders says
Beginning on 14 November, the initiative includes a week of events when HSE
inspectors will work with ladder users and their employers, look at the current
use of ladders and suggest sensible measures to improve safety. During Ladders
Week (14 – 18 November) each HSE local office is organising its own events,
many in partnership with trade associations, local employers and equipment hire
companies. These events include Safety and Health Awareness Days, practical
demonstrations of alternative equipment to ladders and breakfast meetings with
employers and health and safety professionals. To coincide with Ladders Week,
HSE will be producing free guides to help raise awareness of the risks
associated with all type ( Telescopic ladders
, Portable Ladder , Loft access ladders ,
step ladders ,
Frame ladders , Decorating ladder , Telesteps / Tele steps , Aluminium ladders,
cheap ladder , Bargain ladder , xtend & Climb ladders, building ladders
laboures ladders or labourers ladder ) ladders use and giving advice on how to
use them safely.
