Speaking as someone who recently fell off a ladder I can attest to the sensible advice you are offering. I got caught on on the two second job rule. I should have set my ladder out as if I was working all day but I just wanted to lop off one forgotten branch from one of my trees. I did not take the time to get the kit sorted and paid for it. I used my short lopper instead of my long one so I over reached and I had my ladder braced against something that was not as stable as anticipated and was not fixed to anything and when I went to far up the ladder over tilted and game down with me on top of it. I week off work just because I was too lazy to follow the normal rules of play.

You may have just saved my life Roger, as I am up and down a ladder cleaning gutters on a very uneven terrain quiet regularly, and its so easy to think near enough is good enough. So hearing your reminder in that its how you land rather than how high you fall that is the determining factor has possibly been that final wake-up call I needed.

Here in Australia many/most homes have corrugated iron roofs - I learned a GREAT tip from a satellite dish installer recently - always ensure your ladder protrudes above the gutter or roof by 2 rungs and also secure the top by strapping it to a piece of angle iron securely screwed to the roof. Only snag - you obviously need to ascend to secure it, but, at least you’re doing that focused on safety and not while distracted.

Good stuff Roger...one point about that vertical line manufacturers put on ladders, it can sometimes be tricky judging that because the angle of the ladder distracts your eye... So i took the bubble section from an old spirit level and set it into a piece of wood so it reads true at 75° when you hold it on it. Another option is to set the ladder up using the 1:4 ratio and glue the bubble, which is normally set in plastic, to the inside of the stile so it reads true. I originally done it so my apprentice knew when the ladder was right

Two thoughts. If you are resting the top of the ladder on a window sill - then you should know there is usually a kerf cut under it. This is useful for having a good grip sometimes. It is true resting a ladder on a gutter is a poor idea. But sometimes you won't have the correct position because resting it higher means side reaches to a gutter and resting it lower means being too far up and reaching over. My solution is to first wedge the ladder top under the gutter and against the fascia. Then put slight pressure by moving the bottom feet to find the natural position that suit them. This is a stable way to position a ladder. Third thought - you didn't mention ladder mitts or ladder socks - they are probably the option most people will chose to prevent sliding or marking walls.

Another option for 3 points, is to place the ladder close to one side of the work point. Use a top offset to move the ladder out, and the top rung above the work point, then pass one arm through the ladder, so you're 'hooking' the rail in the crook of the elbow. You can have 2 hands on a drill and the 'elbow hook' is the 3rd point. It only works with the work position close, but outside the ladder rail.

I can't help but notice all the ladders set up in your video are rotated such that as you move your feet between sections, you have to step in as you come down which of course is a safety issue as you will be expecting the rung to be in a certain place from memory. I observed a fireman recently extend a two section ladder and then he flipped it 180 degrees over so that as you are descending, the next section is jutted out instead of recessed in which is safer.

I'll echo the comment "Do nothing quickly". I had two fellow firefighters fall from ladders. One died, the other seriously injured. A good way to obtain the correct angle is to stand at the base of the ladder and the most convenient rung would be at a comfortable arms length from you. Also, try tying the ladder to the structure about mid way to prevent ladder bouncing. Be SAFE.

I had a ladder do the 180 flip on me a few years ago when I was in the process of demolishing a small garage. I didn’t fall far but I did land on my back on top of a small pile of bricks. I was lucky not to have broken my spine. The worst part was the rollicking I got from my wife who couldn’t understand why it happened cause as she says, I am usually the most safety conscious person she’s ever come across. Just goes to show, it only takes a moment’s lack of concentration and it can all go t*ts up. As an ex BT engineer, I’d spent many years working up high ladders so was no stranger to them.

Thanks Johnny B. There is a lot to think about when working at heights. The problem is that if you are knocked out the brain hasn't finished buffering that 2 seconds of information from just before the accident. If nobody sees it then people assume is was a sideways slip, as indeed it can be. It happened to a roofer friend of mine a couple of weeks ago. He put a ladder on a plastic gutter and away it went in a split second he was on the ground wondering how he got there . He is now in hospital and his career is probably over. I would never do that. A ladder stay placed above the gutter onto the roof will not slide sideways even if you try to make it.

Really good stuff. I'm no expert but I'm considering a fall protection kit. These seem to hold the ladder in position and then allow the user to clip on to it. Nothing would be as comfortable as that seat though!

Was hoping to see couple of tips for extending a two/ three section ladder without wheels. Seens its a recipe for doing your back in while ladder wobbling all over/ dropping onto neighbour's car 😅

Very good, helpful information. I always take ladder safety seriously and give myself plenty of time when doing a job. I like those stabilisers for the triple and the fact you proved their worth at a testing centre. The leveling feet built into your ladder I haven't seen before. Good job :)

Very good advice and video. Levelling feet and stabilisers are a great idea but the seat scares me a bit. What about crash hats and safety harness? Maybe another time. Good show.

If you have a safety harness you need someone there to rescue you. As for crash hats it would be good but it needs a strap. Best thing is not to fall

Sobering thoughts Roger. Thanks for the reminder, it's so easy to be complacent when working at height.

+Zed Man You are right we all know what we should do. I sometimes hack out masonry without eye protection all because I can't be bothered to walk out to the van and pick up the safety glasses. Then I think;How far would you walk to save one of your eyes? I don't think I could put a figure on it. 10,000 miles? no question.

You really put it into perspective and needs to be said more often.
