Course: Welding II (13207-II) > Section: Applying Basic Safety Standards

Demonstration should involve following safety procedures while using aluminum ladders (e.g., three-point contact), while carrying ladders (e.g., two people at all times), and while erecting and setting ladders.

Process/Skill Questions:

- Why are ladders rated for certain weights?
- Why is the apex (highest point) of a stepladder not considered a step?
- When would one want to choose a wood or fiberglass ladder over an aluminum ladder?
