- Don't use a wood ladder that has been painted. You can't see weak spots through a coat of paint.
- Don't try to put up a ladder where there are power-line wires overhead.
- Select a level, solid resting place for the feet of the ladder.
- Place the feet of the ladder one-fourth its length away from the wall. At this angle you can't overbalance and fall backward.
- Before you start carrying materials up the ladder, be sure you have a place to put them when you get to the top.
- Cans of liquid materials should be fitted with hooks on handles so they can be hung from the ladder.
- If there's a strong wind blowing, stay on the ground.
- Don't carry tools loosely in your pocket. They may fall on someone down below.
- Don't try to reach from the ladder. take the time to move over.
