the ladder. All work with and on the ladder should
therefore be carried out in such a way that a risk
of falling is kept as low as possible.
• When using the ladder, there is also the risk
of tipping over. Individuals can be injured and
objects damaged due to the ladder tipping over.
All work with and on the ladder should therefore
be carried out in such a way that a risk of tipping
over is kept as low as possible.
• The supplementary safety information symbols are
meant to instruct the user of a ladder about what
is necessary and what is not allowed for a safe
use of a ladder in order to avoid accidents e.g. by
falling from the ladder.
“Necessary” is indi cated by a tick [ ] and
“Not allowed” is indicated by an X [ ].
