Climbing and Descending
Follow these tips to avoid the need to "CATCH" yourself when using a ladder.
- CHECK rungs and bottoms of shoes for any slippery material.
- ALWAYS face the ladder.
- THREE-POINT CONTACT -- 2 hands and 1 foot or 2 feet and 1 hand MUST BE on the ladder at all times.
- CARRY tools in a tool belt or raise or lower them with a hand line.
- HOLD on with both hands.
