Each year, there are more than 164,000 ladder emergency room-treated injuries in the U.S., according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Before you climb the ladder to perform fall maintenance tasks, take these safety precautions.

• There should only be one person on the ladder at one time.

• Never leave a raised ladder unattended.

• Be sure all locks on extension ladders are properly engaged.

• All metal ladders should have slip-resistant feet.

• The ground under the ladder should be level and firm.

• Don’t carry objects in yours hands while on a ladder.

• Keep your body centered between the rails of the ladder at all times.
