Tip 1: Always inspect a ladder before use. If there is any problems with it, immediately tag it out of use and find a properly functioning ladder.

Tip 2: Do not carry objects up the ladder in your hands.

Use a tool belt or a retrieval system to bring tools up to you once you have climbed the ladder.

Tip 3: Never stand on the top step if it is not designed to be a step

Tip 4: Do not lean or reach to grab something while on a ladder

Climb down and re-position the ladder closer to the object or area you were trying to reach
