 Keep the area around the top and bottom of ladder clear.
 Use only non-conductive side rails around live electrical equipment.
 Do not use the top step for standing/stepping.
 Do not stand on cross bracing.
 Always face the ladder when ascending or descending.
 Always maintain three points of contact with the ladder (two feet/one hand or two
hands/one foot should be in contact with ladder at all times).
 Carry tools in pouches around waist; use a rope to raise or lower large items such
as tool boxes or materials.
 Do not overextend sideways. Use the belt buckle rule: keep your belt buckle
positioned between the side-rails at all times, which should maintain your center of
gravity between the side-rails.
 Never allow more than one worker on the ladder at a time.
 Wear protective clothing and rubber-soled shoes
 If needed use an extension ladder in the Stock Room, but never use an extension
ladder on the Sales Floor.
 Extension or Non-self-supporting ladders, which must lean against a wall or other
support, are to be positioned at such an angle that the horizontal distance from the
top support to the foot of the ladder is about 1/4 the working length of the ladder.
 If using an extension ladder in the stock room make sure it is secure and will not
slip before you climb on it.
Aerial Lift Safety:
If aerial lifts are used during the installation process you should always follow OSHA and
the Equipment Manufacturers recommended Aerial Lift safety procedures. More details
can be found at the OSHA web site and the Manufacturers web site under Aerial Lift
safety procedures. Aerial Lift safety procedures include but are not limited to the following
procedures:
Before Operating an Aerial Lift
Check operating and emergency controls, safety devices (such as, outriggers and
guardrails), personal fall protection gear, wheels and tires, and other items specified by
the manufacturer. Look for possible leaks (air, hydraulic fluid, and fuel-system) and loose
or missing parts.
Check where the lift will be used. Look for a level surface that won’t shift. Check the slope
of the ground or floor; do not work on steep slopes that exceed slope limits listed by the
manufacturer. Look for hazards, such as, holes, drop-offs, bumps, and debris, and
overhead power lines and other obstructions.
Set outriggers, brakes, and wheel chocks – even if you’re working on a level slope.
