Brand: ToolboxYear
Price: 4 USD
Availability: InStock

One toolbox talk, one page, ready to print. The sign-in sheet is on the same sheet as the talk, so the meeting and your training record are one piece of paper.

Nobody thinks the ladder is the dangerous part of the day. That's exactly why ladder falls keep filling emergency rooms. It's the tool you trust the most and inspect the least.

Talk it through

Check it before you climb: rails, rungs, feet, spreaders. A bent or cracked ladder gets tagged and removed, not leaned back on the pile.
Set the angle right: one foot out for every four feet up. Too steep tips backward, too flat kicks out.

3 more talking points are on the sheet.

Walk the job

Inspect every ladder on this job today. Tag anything questionable and get it gone.

Ask the crew

What job this week are we using a ladder for that really wants a lift?
Who's actually tying off the top of the extension ladder?

Reference printed on the sheet: OSHA 1926 Subpart X, stairways and ladders
