a suitable device for safety glazing bar of
stability;
d)
ladders are not used to ascend to another level;
e)

the work area, if possible
g)
Detect all risks posed by electrical equipment
in the work area. As high-voltage overhead
lines or other exposed electrical equipment
h)
the ladder must be placed on its feet, not on
the glazing bars or steps;
i)
the ladders must not be placed on slippery
surfaces (for example, ice, bare surfaces or
clearly contaminated solid surfaces), unless
more measures prevent the ladder from slipping
or that the contaminated areas are sufficiently
clean.
Pay special attention

Are you in a position to use the ladder? Certain
health conditions, medication, alcohol or drug
abuse can lead to a risk to safety when using the
ladder
b)
when transporting ladders on roof racks or in
a truck to prevent signs of damage, ensure that
they are sufficiently fastened / attached
c)
Check the ladder after the delivery lazing bar
and before the first use, to determine the status
and function of all parts
