Ladder Safety Is a Shared Responsibility
Employers are required to provide the right ladders in good condition, ensure they suit the task, and train workers to use them safely. Workers, in turn, are expected to inspect ladders before use, set them up and climb them correctly, and remove damaged ladders from service.
