Stepping Up

A ladder is one of the most widely used equipment. Regardless of whether one is replacing a light bulb at home, giving the office a fresh coat of paint or working in an industrial setting like a warehouse or a retail store, a ladder always comes in handy.

Ladders could well be one of mankind’s oldest inventions. While ladders are indispensable in many forms of structures from prehistoric to modern times, they can also prove hazardous if not properly used and maintained.
