Ladder Safety

1. Device that secures ladder sections and prevents accidental collapse.
3. The maximum load a ladder can support safely; should never be exceeded.
5. The practice of keepingtwo hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand in contact with the ladder while climbing.
8. A versatile ladder that can be configured into different positions, such as an extension ladder, step ladder, scaffold, or staircase, to accommodate various tasks and settings.
11. The proper arrangement and positioning of a ladder, considering factors like stability and surface conditions, to ensure safe usage.
12. Safety measures, such as harnesses and guardrails, required when working at a height of 3 meters or more to prevent falls.
14. The inclination at which a ladder is placed against a surface; affects stability.
15. Accidents that occur when a person loses balance and descends from a height.

2. A non-self-supporting ladder with a single set of rails that lean against a surface for support, suitable for tasks where the ladder can be placed against a stable structure.
4. Stretching too far while on a ladder, which can lead to loss of balance.
6. To carefully examine a ladder for defects, wear and tear, and other issues before use to ensure safety.
7. A compact ladder that can be extended and collapsed rung by rung, making it easily adjustable for various height requirements and storage.
9. A self-supporting ladder with hinged legs forming an inverted "V" shape, designed for tasks that require a stable platform for working at moderate heights.
10. A two-section ladder that can be lengthened by sliding one section out, commonly used for tasks requiring access to greater heights.
13. A ladder similar to a step ladder, but with a larger platform at the top, providing a comfortable and secure area to work from.
