Frequently Asked Questions

What are some safety ladder tips?

Choose a ladder suitable for the job and ensure it is in good condition without any defects. Check for any damage, wear, or loose parts before use. Ensure the ladder is clean and dry. Place the ladder on a stable, level surface. Ensure it is fully extended and locked into place. Always face the ladder, maintain three points of contact (two hands and one foot or two feet and one hand) and avoid overreaching. Do not carry heavy loads, avoid using the top three rungs, and follow the ladder’s weight capacity and usage guidelines.

What is the 1 in 4 rule for ladders?

The “1 in 4 rule” for ladders is a guideline used to ensure proper ladder placement and stability. It states that for every 4 feet of ladder height, the base should be positioned 1 foot away from the vertical surface it is leaning against. This ratio helps maintain the ladder’s stability and reduces the risk of it tipping over.
