Whether you're cleaning your gutters, inspecting your chimney or hanging holiday lights--don't let any chore that requires you to leave the ground set you up for an accident--follow these helpful tips to keep you safe when using a ladder.
Know the proper placement of a ladder (1 foot away from the house for every 4 feet of height your ladder is raised).
Wear gloves to get a better grip and provide a protective barrier for your hands.
Make sure you know the location of power lines attached to your home and avoid these when placing your ladder.
Climb safely by carrying only one item up at a time or use a pulley system, Keep 3 contact points on the ladder at all times (2 hands and 2 feet equal 4 contact points)
