Safe Working At Heights With Ladders
Working at heightsusing a ladder causes maximum accidents in any workplace across
country, whenever a worker or an individual uses a ladder to climb up to a certain height
he/she is always prone to the risk of falling from the ladder or loosing balance while climbing
up or down. But the irony is no matter how frequently such accidents happen at any
workplace or house no one ignore working at heights or stop working using a ladder because
90% of our household electrical appliances like tube lights, bulbs, fans, fancy lights, false
roofs and split AC's are installed above a human's height and they need frequent maintenance
like replacing the damaged item, repairing it or simply installing a new electrical equipment
and the fastest way to do is using a ladder.
Before climbing any ladder for a work a few steps must be taken to ensure work is also done
and there is no harm to the worker's body or life.
First it must established the height at which the work has to be, if the height is less than
instead of using ladders more stable items like chairs or tables must be used which will
reduce the chance of an imbalance.
Second, the nature of job will tell you how much stable equipment one needs, like if it is just
a simple task of replacing a light bulb then any ladder can be used as there will not much of a
load on the stair and there will be restricted body movement on the stairs which means less
chances of falling but heavy work like installing of a split AC or some small welding has to
be done then more stable equipments like step ladders made with metals to be used as they
have a bigger base which ensures that the ladder does not wobble and chances of accidents
are reduced.
Third, the duration for which the work has to be done will decide the type of ladder to be
used as there are variants of ladder available, industrial for heavy usage, commercial for
medium usage and household for light works like replacing a faulty bulb.
Before using the ladder a few things must be checked. For example are there any visible
defects or damages on the ladder? Is there any oil spillage on the ladder which could result in
slippery grip and if the ladder has been maintained properly as only then a ladder should be
used else there are chances of accidents waiting to happen.
All of the abovementioned insight help us in shaping a successful working at height
aspirations. That is why Working at heights coursesare so important.
