TOday i want to talk about ladder safety.When you use a ladder it is important to get the right size ladder for the job.If a ladder is to short there is a possibilty that you will have to stand on the last first or second step all of which are dangerous .If you are removing a fan or light fixture it is always a good idea to estimate the weight of the object you are taking down.The way to do this is , while the device is still hanging reach up and pick it up and feel its weight. That way it dors not suprise you whenever you remove it.Some Hunter fans can weigh 40 to 50 pounds and if you are not ready for it it could knock you off the ladder.Even a fall from a few feet can injure or kill you.Take a few minutes to think before you get on that ladder.
