Q
Using the ladder
a) Do not exceed the maximum load of the specific
ladder type.
b) Do not lean off too far. Ensure that your belt
buckle (navel) remains between the rails and that
booth feet are standing on the same step / rung.
c) Do not step off a leaning ladder at great height
without additional safety measures. Tie the ladder
or use a suitable ladder-stability device.
d) Do not use stepladders to climb to another
working platform.
e) Do not stand on the upper three steps / rungs
of a leaning ladder.
f) Do not stand on the upper two steps / rungs of
a stepladder without platform or holding device
for hands or knees.
g) Do not stand on the upper four steps / rungs of
a stepladder with attached extension ladder.
h) Use ladders only for short and easy tasks.
i) Use non-conducting ladders for unavoidable
work with live equipment.
j) Do not use the ladder outdoors under adverse
weather conditions, e.g. strong wind.
k) Take precautions that children do not play on
the ladder.
I) Lock the doors (but no emergency exits) and
windows in the working area, if possible.
m) Climb up or down facing towards the ladder.
n) Hold onto the ladder while climbing up or down.
o) Do not use the ladder as bridge.
p) Wear suitable shoes when climbing on a ladder.
q) Avoid excessive lateral loads, e.g. while drilling
in brick or concrete walls.
r) Do not stay on the ladder for excessive periods
of time without break (fatigue is dangerous).
s) In order to access a higher working level, slide
the leaning ladder at least 1 m beyond the
supporting point.
t) Make sure that objects to be carried on the
ladder are not too heavy but can be easily
handled.
u) Avoid work that causes lateral loads on step-
ladders, e.g. drilling in solid materials (brick
wall, concrete).
v) Hold onto the ladder with one hand while
working off a ladder or, if this is impossible,
take additional precautions.
w) On stairs, use stepladders with attached exten-
sion only if the rungs are on the same height or
the ladder is standing horizontally, otherwise
the ladder can tilt over.
x) Do not use the ladder as a scaffold.
y) Never use a stepladder as leaning ladder.

ladder when using the ladder as attic ladder.
