ur ladder is not a complete tool without the right safety equipment. If you have chosen one of our PROF+ ladders you are well equipped to work safely in most situations. The safety legs secure the ladder in several directions and the extension legs allow you to work with the ladder on uneven surfaces. If you are not working with safety legs it’s important to secure the ladder properly, preventing the base from slipping out away from the wall and the ladder from falling over sideways. If possible, secure the ladder at the top with safety hooks, a fixed anti-slip protection or top stabilisers for concretesections. If you can’t secure the ladder at the top. A stabiliser is a good alternative, but keep in mind that you also need prevent the base from sliding out away from the wall, you can for example secure it with a rope. 52
