Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A step stool should be between 7 and 24 inches tall. It should be high enough for a child to reach a counter or sink but not too high.
Detailed explanation-2: -The highest permitted standing level on a step ladder is two steps down from the top. A person standing higher may lose their balance and fall. A person’s maximum safe reaching height is approximately 4’ higher than the height of the ladder. For example, a typical person can safely reach an 8’ ceiling on a 4’ ladder*.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
