  1. DID YOU KNOW THERE’S A LOT MORE TO LADDER SAFETY THAN SAFELY CLIMBING IT. Hands on the rungs, or hands gripping the side rails, are both okay, as long as you use both hands. But ladder safety doesn’t stop there. Frequently, ladders aren’t properly secured either at the top or the bottom. Ladders should be long enough to extend at least 3 feet above the landing. And they should be tied off. They should also be set at a proper angle. A 1 to 4 pitch is recommended. One foot out for each four feet of height. And no matter how convenient it might seem, don’t try to carry tools and materials up or down the ladder. Use a hand line to haul them up or down. At Halliburton, solving customer challenges is second only to keeping everyone safe and healthy. You can find more safety tips at www.halliburton.com/HSE. © 2012 Halliburton. All rights reserved.
