Ladder Safety Tip
There are five common household ladders: stepstools, A-frame ladders, platform, extension and articulated ladders that are used for a variety of different projects and tasks both inside and outside of the house. Stepstools, A-frame and platform ladders are largely used for indoors projects such as reaching atop of a cabinet or changing a lightbulb, whereas the extension or articulated ladder is ideal for outdoor tasks. Because each ladder type has a different height, structure and purpose, it is important to know whether or not your ladder fits the job in order to reduce the risk of ladder-related injuries. Learn more about ladder types here.
