Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A step stool is the right option if you just need a little more height to reach the top shelf of cabinets. A step ladder is required for those working at a height of 12 feet or higher.
Detailed explanation-2: -Not every device sold as a “stepstool” meets OSHA’s definition, but many stools are regulated as portable ladders. According to 29 CFR 1910.21, a stepstool means “a self-supporting, portable ladder that has flat steps and side rails.” The definition clarifies that a stepstool would be no more than 32 inches in height.
