SET UP & USE - THE RIGHT WAY
Use fiberglass
ladders if there
is even a remote
possibility of
working near
electricity or
overhead power
lines.
Fiberglass side rails
are electrically
non-conductive.
Be sure that all
ladder feet are on firm,
level ground. Solid
footing is necessary
for safe ladder use.
* Ladder shoes
equipped with spur
plates are for use on
penetrable surfaces.
* Werner extension
ladder shoes are
designed to pivot for
use on firm, non-
slippery surfaces.
Check for and replace
frayed or damaged
electrical cords.
Use double
insulated power tools
as well
as grounded cords
and outlets.
Be careful if you use
a tool belt. Make sure
that tools do not catch
on the ladder when
climbing.
Wear shoes that have
non-slip soles.
Make sure they are
free of mud, oil, or
anything slippery.
Use extra caution in
windy weather.
Climb a ladder in
rain or other severe
weather only in
emergency
situations and with the
ladder fully secured.
Have another
person hold
the ladder.
