Safety tips for Cat Ladder Manufacturers in Singapore

• You should have a proper balance while standing or climbing in the ladder. To have a proper balance do not lean to one side of the ladder you may miss the balance or the ladder may slide to one side.
• You may slip from the ladder so it is always suggested to hold the rung in one hand. So even if you slip from the ladder instead of falling down you can hold the rung.
• It is always recommended not to work on the tip of the ladder. If there is any sudden situation you cannot hold the rung so you may fall from the top. The same applies to the step ladder also. If there is any hold in front of you then you can go to the tip of the ladder for example when you are working in front of a tree you can hold the branches instead of the rung.
• In case of holding something related to your work like paint or nuts, you can use the “S” hook. The hook can hold the bucket or the tin with the rung. It easy for you to select the tool and work accordingly.
• Do not step on the rung which is above the rest point of the wall. It may pivot so that the base of the ladder will rise from the ground and there are chances for you to slip from the ladder.
• It is mandatory not to push the sideway. It protects the ladder from slipping. Once you reach the edge of the rung climb to the roof. Do not lean or put your full weight on the extended section.
