When we climb a ladder, we put our health at risk, and often we are not aware of the dangers of its incorrect use, whether due to ignorance or any other reason.
Awareness from everyone is necessary to prevent accidents caused by incorrect ladder use, with a crucial role played by occupational risk prevention departments within companies.
In this image, we can see incorrect ladder use, as according to the European Standard EN 131, the top two steps should not be stepped on. The user is primarily responsible for its improper use.
On the other hand, companies are obligated to train their operators to be aware of the health risks present in their workplace, which arise from using the various tools necessary for performing their duties.
