Fiber Glass Ladders

When using a fiberglass extension ladder, it is important to follow all safety precautions. Be sure to read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully before using the ladder. Always inspect the ladder before use for any signs of damage. Do not overload the ladder, and be sure to use the ladder on a level surface.

Here are some additional safety tips for using a fiberglass extension ladder:

• Maintain three points of contact with the ladder at all times. This means having two feet and one hand on the ladder while climbing up or down, and two hands and one foot on the ladder while working.
• Face the ladder while climbing up or down.
• Do not lean too far to either side of the ladder.
• Keep your center of gravity between the side rails of the ladder.
• Do not overload the ladder. Check the ladder’s load capacity rating before using it.
• Use the ladder on a level surface.
• Do not use the ladder in windy conditions.
• Be aware of your surroundings and avoid working near electrical wires or other hazards.

By following these safety tips, you can help to ensure a safe and productive experience when using a fiberglass extension ladder.
