Safety Awareness Training in Ladder Use

In daily family life, ladders are a common auxiliary tool, widely used to replace light bulbs, clean windows, and take and put objects at heights. However, every year, household injury accidents caused by improper use of ladders are common. For this reason, it is particularly important to improve safety awareness and training for the use of household ladders. This article will systematically explain how to use household ladders scientifically and safely from the following aspects.

Analysis of the causes of frequent ladder accidents

Lack of safety training

Many home users have not received systematic ladder safety training, and often operate based on experience, resulting in frequent errors.

Use of unqualified products

Some families choose cheap ladders without certification marks, and the stability and load-bearing capacity of such products cannot be guaranteed.

Improper environmental assessment

For example, forcing operations in environments that are not suitable for ladders, such as slippery floors and narrow passages, increases the risk of accidents.

Irregular operating habits

Common operating errors that lead to falls, such as standing on the top platform, operating with one hand, and not checking the stability of the ladder feet.

Inspection items before use

Before using any household ladder, be sure to perform the following inspections:

Whether the ladder frame is deformed or cracked;

Whether the anti-skid pads on the ladder feet are complete and firm;

Whether the ground is dry and stable;

Confirm whether the load-bearing capacity of the ladder meets the use requirements.

Correct use of operating specifications

Opening and closing the ladder: Keep both sides fully open and confirm that the buckle is fastened;

Going up and down the ladder: Face the ladder, hold with both hands, and move only one foot at a time;
