Q

Chapter 22 Ladders p255

What is the danger when misjudging heights using straight ladders?

A

If you misjudge and have too much ladder the angle will be very low. Low angles tend kick out the feet of ladders.

If you misjudge and there is not enough ladder the angle will be too tight against the wall which can cause the ladder to pull away from the structure as you ascend.

Q

Chapter 22 Ladders p259-261

What are three methods for single FFers portable ladder and tool carries?

A

Low Shoulder carry- perhaps the most common carry. FFer rest beam of ladder on shoulder, place one arm through the rungs, and grasp the rung with one hand. Tools carried in opposite hand.

High shoulder carry- lowest beam sets on shoulder, to control the ladder both hands will need to grasp rungs. Less advantageous than low shoulder carry.

Ladder Drag- place tools on ladder and go, can also be used to carry multiple ladders (straight w/ roof hooks and extension work best)

Rule of thumb for ladder climbing angle

A
  1. Stand on lowest rung put arms straight out in front, if they touch
  2. A quarter of the working length, from base of structure. So 24’ extension ladder set to 20 feet so five feet away from building. (two guesses = bad method)
22
Q

70 degrees

23
Q

feet slightly out to either side of the rungs, keep hands on beams…bad weather feet further out to outside and deeper in rungs.

Tools carried, hook one on rungs ahead, other stay in hand in beam slide up with hand. Leave one hand free.

25
Q

26
Q

Chapter 22 Ladders p270

How often should ladders be inspected?

A

Visually on a monthly basis and after each use.

27
Q

Chapter 22 Ladders p271

Tips out or in, why?

A

With tip in/butt out, ladder comes out butt first, leads you to your objective, most of the time this is best practice.

In tight back yards, going butt first would require us to spin the ladder so butt would face rear of building. If we store butt first/tip out then we are already in position for back yard.
