Question

A worker sets up to begin a painting job. He lays down a drop cloth and makes sure that the floor is even so that the ladder is stable. The worker also makes sure that the area around his painting zone is free of clutter or objects lying on the ground. He then stands with both feet on the top step of the ladder and starts to paint. What does the worker do incorrectly?

Answer 1

Answer:

You should never use the top of a ladder as a step. The employer should correct the worker’s behavior and ensure he knows the proper way to use a ladder.

Explanation:

He is standing at the top. He is not suppose to and OSHA does not approve this.
