When should I use a ladder?

If you need to use ladders in your project, make sure you select the correct ladder type. Some jobs require you to work at heights, and for some jobs, an extension ladder is chosen. However, using ladders can easily accomplish other types of work.

You can use three ladders or higher ladders around the house for other types of work. No matter which type of ladder you choose, you should know when to use it and for what type of project.

Around the house

When you need to climb high places, use ladders around the house. Whether you need to fetch things from above the refrigerator or change the light bulb, a ladder may be better than a chair. You can also use the ladder to paint, decorate or any other project around the house.

On the job site

Many jobs can also be handled by ladders on the job site. Painters often use ladders because they often need to work at high places. Whether it's house painting or office space painting, these ladders are very effective on the job site.

Ladder safety

Whether you are using a ladder around the house or on the job site, you need to use the ladder safely, so please remember the following safety tips:

Fix all four feet on a level ground.

Climb the ladder with only light tools and materials.

Don't overstretch on the ladder.

Avoid using tall stepladders for work or standing on the first three steps.

Before using the ladder, make sure that all locking devices are engaged.

Keep in touch at three points at all times.

Ladder safety is very important to any ladder. When using a ladder, make sure to use it safely, no matter what type of project you need to complete.
