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.
