Ladders are essential tools in our daily lives, especially in home cleaning, maintenance, decoration, etc., where ladders can provide convenient support. However, as a novice user, it is crucial to use ladders correctly and safely. Improper use will not only increase the risk of accidents, but may also cause unnecessary injuries. This article will introduce you to some tips for safe use of ladders to ensure that every use is safe and smooth.

Choose a suitable ladder

When choosing a ladder, first choose the right type according to the needs of use. Common household ladders include aluminum alloy ladders, fiberglass ladders, etc. Ladders of different materials have different advantages when used.

Aluminum alloy ladders: light, durable, suitable for daily home use.

Fiberglass ladders: have good insulation properties and are suitable for use in electrical work.

In addition, when choosing a ladder, you need to ensure that its load-bearing capacity meets the use requirements. Household ladders generally choose styles with a load-bearing capacity of about 150 kg to meet daily needs.

Check the stability of the ladder

Before using the ladder, be sure to check the stability of the ladder. Check the following points:

- The ladder is intact and has no loose, deformed or damaged parts.

- Make sure the ladder is placed on a flat, solid ground and avoid placing it on a slippery surface.

- If you are using a telescopic ladder or a multi-purpose ladder, make sure that all parts are firmly locked.

Through these checks, you can effectively prevent the ladder from accidentally sliding or collapsing during use.

Proper ladder placement

Proper ladder placement is the key to ensuring safety. When setting up a ladder, follow the following principles:

A-frame ladder: Place the bottom stably and ensure that the ladder has a stable foot.

Extension ladder: Place the upper end of the ladder close to the location where the work is required, ensure that both ends of the ladder are firmly in contact with the ground, and ensure that the ladder is high enough to reach the target location.

Please avoid placing the ladder next to a door or in a small space to avoid accidental collisions.

Avoid standing on one foot

When standing on a ladder, always avoid standing on one foot. Keep both feet firmly on the ladder and ensure that the center of gravity of the body is balanced. If you need to reach for something, keep your back straight and try to avoid overextending or leaning sideways.

In addition, when using a ladder, avoid carrying too heavy tools or items, which can reduce accidents caused by loss of balance.

Weight rating of ladders

Each ladder has its designed weight rating, and overloading may cause the ladder to fail structurally. As a novice user, you need to pay special attention to the weight limit on the ladder and avoid carrying too many items on the ladder.

Make sure that when using a ladder, the total weight of the tools, materials, etc. carried does not exceed the maximum load capacity of the ladder.

Choose a professional supplier when a professional ladder is needed

For occasions in the home that require particularly high safety (such as electrical maintenance or working at height), it is recommended to choose a professional home ladder supplier.

Regular inspection and maintenance

To ensure the safety of the ladder, regular inspection and maintenance are very necessary. After using it for a period of time, check whether the screws and locking devices of the ladder are loose, and tighten or replace them in time. Keep the ladder clean and dry to avoid safety hazards caused by wetness or dust accumulation.

By following the above suggestions, novice users can use ladders more safely and avoid unnecessary accidents.
