| Don't Lean on a Ladder |
| Thursday, April 13, 2006 |
Your mate's up a ladder, so you decide to "help out," and lean a foot against the bottom?
Unfortunately, it's not very safe practice. So say the authors of a recent sudy by the Ergonomics
and Safety Research Institute at Loughborough University in the UK which conducted 780 tests on 52 typical ladder users. Instead, stand on the lowest rung with both feet well apart. That way the ladder won't slide across the wall or fall backwards and the base won't slide outwards . |
