SafeStart Event Details (from our Chester County Sales Team)
While replacing an outdoor spotlight at home, I placed a ladder on the grass and leaned it against the house. Taking tools in hand, I climbed up the ladder to do the work. As I was climbing up the ladder, I felt one leg of the ladder start to sink into the ground and the ladder started to tip. I got off the ladder and placed a piece of plywood on the ground to provide support and finished the job safely.
When I started to do the work I was complacent. Then I self-triggered on the possibility of the ladder tipping and corrected the problem. I removed myself from the line-of-fire.
