In this video, we will share important information about OSHA 10 Ladders and Stairs Part 1. Why are stairways and ladders used? They are needed because we have access points of 19 inches or more to another elevation or another level.
The different types of ladders are Portable Ladders, Fixed Ladders and Extension Ladders.
The following rules apply to ALL ladders:
✅Maintain ladders free of oil, grease and other slipping hazards
✅Do not load ladders beyond their maximum nor beyond their manufacturer's rated capacity
✅Use ladders ONLY for their designed purpose.
✅Use ladders ONLY on stable and level surfaces unless secured to prevent accidental movement.
✅Keep areas clear around the top and bottom of ladders. If necessary, use a barricade to keep traffic or activity away from the ladder.
✅Do not move, shift or extend ladders while in use.
✅Always face the ladder when moving up and down.
✅Maintain 3 points of contact. Use at least one hand to grasp the ladder when climbing
✅Do not carry objects or loads that could cause loss of balance and falling.
