DESCRIPTION
Ladders and load management is a crucial aspect of ladder safety, as it ensures stability and prevents accidents. Keeping both hands free for secure ladder gripping is vital while on a ladder, and tools should be carried using tool belts or pouches attached to the ladder. For larger or heavier items, it's safer to have a coworker pass them to you on the ladder or securely fasten them to your body, and preventive measures like tethers, lanyards, and maintaining a clear work area reduce the risk of falling objects, enhancing safety when working at heights.
