Choosing the Right LadderChoosing the Right Ladder
Before stepping onto a ladder, think about these things:
• Duty rating of the ladder—what capacity can it hold?
• Height of the ladder—too short or too tall?• Condition of the ladder and instructions
unique to the ladder selected.

Pitch Extension LaddersPitch Extension Ladders
• Extension ladders should be used at a 4 to 1 pitch (1.2 to .3 m).
• For every 4 ft. (1.2 m) in height, the bottom of the ladder should be 1 ft. (.3 m) away from the structure.
•Example:•20 ft. (height) ÷ 4 ft. = 5 ft. pitch

Additional Safe Work Practices: Ladders
• Extension ladders should not be separated to create two ladders.
• Keep the areas around the tops and bottoms of all ladders clear to prevent trip-and-fall hazards.
• Avoid setting ladders up in high traffic areas or barricade the area around ladder.

Additional Safe Work Practices: Ladders, cont.
• Ladders must be kept free of oil, grease, and other slipping hazards.
• Consider using a rope to raise/lower materials instead of carrying items while climbing a ladder.
