Most ladder involved injuries are strains and sprains caused by lifting and carrying, which can be debilitating. Most ladder involved deaths can be traced back to operator error, such as selecting the wrong ladder for the job. One driving point for wrong ladder selection is weight, no one wants to carry the heaviest ladder for their job, but often times the correct ladder happens to be the heaviest one. Using a ladder mover takes "weight" out of the of picture and allows us to easily use the safest ladder for the job.

Good stuff....

Good OSHA rules video!!

Thank you Antonio! Please feel free to share our videos.

The ladder set up against a wall at 4:05 in the video where they talk about ladder angle, the ladder appears to be standing backwards against the wall. At least any extension ladder I've used the top section is always on the outside of the ladder, closest to you when climbing.

You are correct, the fly section must be on top for the ladder shown, otherwise you will split / break the side rail flange from the side rail web and ladder will collapse. In other words the fly section support bracket is non-functional when used backwards as shown in the video. A number of climbers have learned this the hard way. Another clue, you can also see that the rungs have the flats tipped forward instead of being level for comfortable standing.

Always tie it off Most deaths or paralysis occur getting 6' step ladders as the break point is between the second and third vertebrae where the average neck line contacts the ground If you're going to fall, jump of vertically they say, then you land in your feet, hit your knees then with elbows protecting your head you roll into a ball then roll and turn impact force into kinetic rolling energy, but better off being tied off on a life line, it simple anchor bracket and rope, takes 5 minutes, Say you have a roof tie down anchor 25' from where you're working at a roof edge, it's 65' from the ground, 70' from the bottom of the elevator shaft, hook your rope around a roof truss right where you're working, so maybe an 8' straight fall would occur if you fell off a wall, however, if you didn't wrap your rope around a close framing member you might be in for a 20 foot fall at the point of drop in only to swing 15' back into a block wall and then your 6' lanyard, so, a 170 lb guy falls, he's at the end of his rope perspective to his fall location, but the anchor point is 25 feet back, he falls for 20 feet in a swing and smashes full velocity 15 feet away into a cmu wall, nominally, but the lanyard or rope with a built in lanyard system (which should then be only connected to your harness D ring and not your 6 foot lanyard) unleashes, so then a 20' swing drop becomes 26 feet of properly connected, or, if improperly connected becomes 6' on the rope with built in fall arrest plus the 20' of rope plus the additional 6' lanyard you're talking s 15' lateral positional fall at the drop point away from Anchorage, and a 32' drop to take you smashing into a concrete stair it elevator shaft, this needs to be reintegrated in OSHA cottages around the globe. It's sometimes impractical to move an anchor every ten minutes, but wrapping your rope around a close framing member plumb up from where you're working might be in order

Great observation, I agree with your analysis, shorter tie-offs reduce the pendulum swing velocity so you are less likely to become a human wrecking ball that goes splat!

I wanta have that Jeff guy (4:08) as a drinking buddy. :D

Very informative👌

I believe it's this item from Guardian Fall Protection: www.guardianfall.com/performance-safety-products/ladder-safety/product/ladder-rung-step

Is this video about ladders?

Do different states have different OSHA rules?

That's a great question! I would recommend watching our video on the OSHA Standards: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d6hqrtOfirbQhtI.html

Question I work for a weed company I'm maintenance and in the rooms I work in we have about 18 aaon ac units that are about 18 to 20 feet above. I changed all filters and have to use the 20 foot extension ladder and put it against the wall and I can't move the ladder closer to the wall because of the rows of tables. This scares me because I'm afraid it will slip and I'll just go down. I go about 16 feet on the ladder to change out old nasty filters but I never have anyone to hold the ladder for me so the ladder won't slip. It has slipped 1" last time in a room I literally found a 2×4 piece of wood to lay in back of the ladder to hold it. Is this company in trouble with OSHA? I asked my manager about it and still no improvement for purchasing some type of add on supports for the ladder I use like they don't want to spend money. I have fell once before long ago they paid the $4500 dollar bill I almost broke my arm.

You're not supposed to be doing work far away from the ladder you stand on It's a hazard as you mentioned. Request fall protection or talk to the labor board if they won't add side-support for the ladder

2:18 The guy setting up the ladder gets electrocuted, because the ladder is metal; therefore when it touches the wire, electric current passes through the ladder and shocks the guy.
