points are important to have when working with heights.

-Before ascending, give your fall protection gear a thorough look over. Any
signs of damage, replace immediately.

ensuring it’s in good condition.

-Having someone steady the ladder or keep an eye out for potential hazards
adds an extra layer of safety.
