Checkup On Ladders
Is Urged By Agent
"You may be heading for a fal
unless you check your climbing e
quipment and practices used a
round the farmstead and in the farm
home." That's what Ben Jenkins
county agent for the State Sollege
Extension Service, said today in
stressing the importance of avoiding
falls by keeping ladders and
step stools in good repair and climt
ing them properly.
"Inspect ladders frequently foi
rusted or loose bolts and anils
cracked, rotted or loose rungs 01
supports," he said. "Make repairs
Immediately or get a new ladder
That's cheaper than having an accident."
Mr. Jenkins points to the sugestions
for the safe use of ladders
given by the National Safety Council.
They are: Firmly set the base
of the ladder one-fourth of the ladder's
height from the wall. Face
the ladder when climbing and use
both hands. Avoid leaning too far
out on the ladder ? climb down
and move theladder instead- Clean
mud or grease from your hands and
shoes before climbing. Use a rope
hoist to raise sharp tools, heavy objects,
or bulky materials. Ouen stepladders
fully and place all four legs
on solid ground before climbing.
Falls are principal cause of injury
in the farm home, the agent points
out.. He warns against standing on
chairs, stools, boxes, tables or make
shift devices not intended for that
purpose. Severe injury and death
have often resulted from falls at low
levels. A safe step stool for the farm
home is the simple solution to this
problem.
The National Safetl Council suggests
thta step stools be checked for
the following safety factors: Is the
top sufficiently broad for comfortable
standing? Is each step light
enough to stand the bounce? Are
steps topped with a non-skid surface?
Is stool securely built of
sound materials? Does the base lie
so that your weight may be shifted
on the top without tipping - the
stool? Is it in good repair?
