Description
A step ladder is one of the most familiar things on a jobsite and can be defined as self-supporting, portable, non-adjustable in length, flat steps and a hinged back. Even though it is very common and used often, workers still get hurt using them.
Falls from stepladders are very common and knowledge of safety guidelines can prevent step ladder incidents from happening.
A person using a step ladder is typically not very high of the ground. However, severe accidents and even death is seen from falls when landing the wrong way.
