Ladder safety is essential to prevent accidents while working at heights. Always choose the right type of ladder for your task, ensuring it is in good condition without any damage. Set the ladder on a stable, level surface and maintain a three-point contact while climbing—two hands and one foot or two feet and one hand. Before using a ladder, inspect it for any defects, such as loose rungs or broken parts. When working, avoid overreaching, as this can cause the ladder to tip. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and safety regulations to ensure a safe working environment.
