Walking - Working Surfaces <br /> Portable Ladder Safety <br /> An extension or straight ladder used to access an elevated surface must extend at least 3 feet <br /> above the point of support (see diagram). Do not stand on the three top rungs of a straight, <br /> single or extension ladder. <br /> The proper angle for setting up a ladder is to place its base a quarter of the working length of <br /> the ladder from the wall or other vertical surface (see diagram). <br /> A ladder placed in any location where it can be displaced by other work activities must be <br /> secured to prevent displacement or a barricade must be erected to keep traffic away from the <br /> ladder. <br /> Be sure that all locks on an extension ladder are properly engaged. <br /> Do not exceed the maximum load rating of a ladder. Be aware of the ladder's load rating and of <br /> the weight it is supporting, including the weight of any tools or equipment. <br /> I 4 <br /> Yq deaths and 1,200 major Injuries m workers each year.Manydwl <br /> nappmpriare or incorrect use o[the equipment, <br /> ants nse a ntltler Oca Wtler <br /> ors.iaaae,: enatwar <br /> t mein ao rot: <br /> _.p o.ioaatta Qn <br /> -,vow,wa�,e'reoecrea mmmraeaas <br /> mew omtegn <br /> IBM <br /> -sons mra mertoa <br /> mnrc,m ai `' ma eaacx <br /> W ugnt nah a-a Ame <br /> tn,m.awaAac.c s nr�mnamde <br /> •� a��toaanta arks a.�mnd <br />`� l7_ .r,wamm:man.a wumwa -�maetrawtret uram <br /> °. nnas <br /> rime mo tnoawsmetlng <br /> a elan a avwiaui <br />
