Ladder Safety 101

Last Updated: May 5, 2008

We just had to post a few pictures from an email that was sent to our office as a joke! It is amazing to think that some people actually are this stupid when it comes to setting up a ladder or a homemade ladder! If you hire Chism Brothers, this won't happen. We just our monthly safety meeting on Ladder Safety and used these photos as examples of what not to do!

Enjoy!
