Make your ladder has the correct height, weight rating, and configuration for the work to be performed.
Always have 3 points of contact with the ladder when climbing up or down.
Keep your belt buckle (or belly button) between the ladder’s side rails.
Never stand on the top of the ladder nor the 1st step from the top as balance can be lost from these positions.
All A-frame ladders must be fully opened on a level surface.
Extension ladders are to be set at a 4:1 angle, extend a minimum of 36 inches above the roof line, be tied off to the structure near the top, and be secured from movement at the bottom.
