The main hazard when using a ladder is falling. A poorly maintained, designed, or improperly used ladder may collapse under the load placed upon it and cause an employee to fall.

A ladder is an appliance consisting of two side rails joined at regular intervals with crosspieces on which a person may step to ascend or descend. There are certain safety requirements an employer must meet in order for a ladder to be used. If these requirements are not meet and an employee is injured from a ladder accident, the employer and company may be liable.
