When dealing with electricity, doesn’t one hand have to be in your pocket? I guess you can use your teeth.

I’m not sure if that would be possible for a ladder, how would one ever be able to perform an operation requiring 2 hands? Bring a buddy up the ladder too? -Doug From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Goedderz, Jim Sent: Friday, September 11, 2009 12:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: one handed installation Hi forum, Some of our recent health and safety training has indicated that it is necessary to have three points of contact on a ladder when up and installing a fixture, light, camera, etc. First question that came up was if this was a legal (OSHA maybe) requirement. Anybody dealt with this and has insight? Secondly, would 2 feet and a knee be considered the 3 points of contact? If there is some legal basis to the 3 point of contact requirement, can anyone provide a reference or perhaps knowledge of when it is necessary? Thank you.
