Maintain three points of contact while ascending, descending, and/or working on a ladder.
When climbing down a ladder, look before you step off a ladder to obtain a sure, safe
footing, and avoid using the top two steps.
Use the correct angle, supports, treads, cross brace, and rails.
• Keep ladders free from slipping hazards and place on firm level surface.
• Use cross bracing on the rear of a step ladder for climbing only if it is designed for that purpose.
