28. In Control – best practice
Hazard Identification and controls
• When erected, the ladder must be
at an angle of 75°. Use the 1 in 4
rule
• If you cannot achieve this angle,
because the ladder is too short,
too long or something is in the
way, then don’t use it.
• If the top of a ladder is 6 m up a
wall how far out from the wall
should the base be?
• When working from a ladder, try
and maintain three points of
contact with it at all times (eg both
feet and one hand).

correct length.

stepladders where a step forms
the very top of the stepladder.
