Ladder Safety
Posted On: 04 September 2008
Today's example comes from a reader in the Baltic states, you have all heard of standing on the roof of a van to reach something, these tradesmen used the van and a ladder to reach the window or sign they were working on.
While clearly a high risk, especially getting on and off the ladder not to mention all the other dangers.
In spite of the suicidal nature of this rig-up, one wonders if a properly engineered roof rack/bracket with proper guardrails might have a place? ... although a small trailer lift or spider lift would be a lot more practical and a lot safer.
