Kevin, a fiberglass ladder basically will not conduct electricity.  The 
problem lies with the voltage level and surface dirt.  I am not sure at what 
voltage level it starts at; but when around high voltage lines that run on top 
of poles and near buildings, one has to allow room.  Voltages in the 12,000 to 
15,000 volt range will follow a path to ground, it does not necessarily need a 
conductor, just a potential difference that leads to ground.  Humid situations 
with dirt lower path resistance and allow path flow at lower voltages.  One 
also has to remember that at those voltages, survival rate is next to zero.
