Ladder safety: inspection and disposal

How to Dispose of an Unsafe Ladder

It is very important to dispose an unsafe ladder properly. If an unsafe ladder is picked up by someone and they use it, you could be held liable if the individual is injured on a damaged ladder.

Do not cut the ladder in half across the rails. It is possible someone may still see this as a usable ladder and attempt to work with it.

Do cut the ladder in half by cutting directly down the center of the rungs, from top to bottom.
