Listen to Dr. Samir Mehta discuss Ladder Safety Tip's from Penn Medicine's Level 1 Trauma Center.
Tip #1: Make sure the ladder is open all the way and that it is secure.
Tip #2: Open the ladder on stable flat surface.
Tip #3: When climbing the ladder, you want to make sure to use your hands to help support yourself when carrying yourself up and down.
Tip #4: Don't climb too far up! As you get higher up on the ladder the gravity changes and the ability to tip is very high.
