Detailed explanation-1: -Never attempt to move the step stool while standing on it, or by standing on something else (like a shelf) and pushing the step stool with your foot. Always get down from the step stool and move it to the next secure and stable location you need to use it before climbing on again.
Detailed explanation-2: -Make sure folding step stools are fully open / extended and locked into position. Brace yourself by putting a hand on a nearby wall when ascending and descending the step stool. Wear closed-toed shoes. Do not climb on a step stool in sandals, high heels, socks or bare feet.
Detailed explanation-3: -As a general rule, you should not stand on the top three treads of any swingback step ladder. This rule is designed to ensure that there is always at least 1 metre of ladder above you while you are working. That way, you can easily grip the ladder and maintain the recommended three points of contact at all times.
Detailed explanation-4: -Maintain a 3-point contact (two hands and a foot, or two feet and a hand) when climbing/ descending a ladder. Stay near the middle of the ladder and face the ladder while climbing up/down. Use a barricade to keep traffic away from the ladder.
