Avoid using aluminum or metal ladders when working with or near electrical wiring!

Great tips.
Always use common sense with and around ladders. The life you save may be your own.

Great tips Pam, thanks! Everyone should take heed to these tips. I certainly try to be very careful when I'm on a ladder.

good tips....But Don't go up a ladder if the ground is wet or it's a windy day. I think there will be many people use ladder in the rainy days!!!!

This is a great tip, Pam. Despite strict workplace health and safety regulations, it is amazing how many people fail to follow the same safety standards at home.

I carried ladders around for three and a half years while doing electrical work. My closest calls to falling were always because I missed the last step closest to the ground while coming down. One foot from the ground, but still freaky! Ha ha!
