The foremost reason for job-related deaths each year is attributed to ladder falls and injuries, which is why a top-tier roofer in Hartford advises that you follow these ladder safety tips to help you remain safe.<\/p><h2 style=\"font-family: Lato, Arial; line-height: 1.1; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 30px; font-style: normal;\">Examine Your Ladders<\/h2><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Lato, Arial; font-size: 20px;\">Before stepping foot onto a ladder, a Hartford roof repair pro will always check it thoroughly. If a ladder is disabled then it considerably increases the risk of falls and injury. Here are a few things to examine on the ladders you are going to use:<\/p><ul style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Lato, Arial; font-size: 20px;\"><li>Read over all of the labels and cautions that the manufacturer has provided on the ladder.<\/li><li>Watch out for any loose or missing parts such as screws, bolts, rivets, etc.<\/li><li>Stay away from a ladder that is all rusted out or corroded.<\/li><li>Are there any cracks in the metal or fiberglass, sharp edges, or visible damage?<\/li><li>If it is equipped with locking mechanisms, do they still work?<\/li><\/ul><h2 style=\"font-family: Lato, Arial; line-height: 1.1; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 30px; font-style: normal;\">Ladder Placement and Use<\/h2><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Lato, Arial; font-size: 20px;\">Once a ladder had passed all of the safety factors, the next step is to set it up carefully. To accomplish this follow these steps:<\/p><ul style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Lato, Arial; font-size: 20px;\"><li>Placed on a stable, even surface.<\/li><li>A Hartford roofer says to never place a ladder on top of an object to increase your reaching distance. such as chairs or the back of your pickup truck<\/li><li>A vertical extension ladder should be leaning up at an angle of 75 degrees for maximum stability<\/li><li>The ladder should stretch about 3 feet or more past the level you are climbing up to.<\/li><li>Ensure that all of the locking mechanisms are secured (if applicable)<\/li><\/ul><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Lato, Arial; font-size: 20px;\">Ladders are a very helpful and important piece of equipment, so the condition and how it is handled should not be overlooked. This is why there are regulations set that a professional&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mageecompanies.com\/hartford-roofing-contractor\" style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(51, 122, 183);\">Hartford roofing contractor<\/a>&nbsp;must follow.
