The following home trend post, have a title ‘Use Ladder Safely‘. Accidents often occur when people use a ladder-climbing ladders either because it is not moldy or stand firm. By way of storage and use correct, it could have been prevented. In English, different from the stair and ladder, although both have a sense of the stairs. Both serve as vertical transportation, but its usage is different. Ladder used as construction equipment or building repairs are only temporary and can be transported. Meanwhile, a permanent stair and fixed location. Actually ladder, or climbing stairs called, is needed by every household. Sometimes this is not considered necessary steps so that people easily borrow a neighbor. In fact, when needed, simply “busy” to take them from the neighboring warehouses.

Materials and Storage
Climbing the ladder used to reach high objects such as lamps to replace the dead, repair the wall finishing, and clean the walls and ceiling. There are climbing stairs made of wood or bamboo, some are of aluminum. The wooden staircase has the mother of a wooden ladder sized beam (6 cm x 12 cm) and stairs (ground) from beams sized timber (5 cm x 7 cm). Between mother staircase with stairs of wood and bamboo, there is a connection form of the notch and nails. If not carefully kept so that the influx of heat and rain, the age of wood or bamboo ladder will not be long. Notches will shrink and the stairs are not connected strongly with the mother of the stairs. Quickly, the stairs will become obsolete and its strength is no longer guaranteed. In accordance with its material properties, bamboo is lighter than wood. Because it is heavier than the wooden stairs of bamboo ladder. This should be considered when purchasing a ladder, especially when he had transported. The longer the wooden stairs, weighs heavier.

Now many are sold from aluminum ladder climbing. In addition to lighter, more reliable power, clean, and no wood or bamboo powder. In addition, aluminum ladder easily stored. Ladder to reach six feet in length can be stored in a way bent / folded, so easy to put into storage space. Indeed ladder can be placed outside the home. However, you need to be careful keep it outside the house, because the ladder can be a “transport medium” thief. When leaning against the wall outside the house, the stairs will “help” the thieves climbed onto the roof. Ideally, the ladder is stored outside the home with horizontally placed on the wall approximately 1 m above the ground and locked on two sides.

Using the Secure
Often accidents occur when people use the stairs. Before using a ladder, make sure the ladder is safe and appropriate for use. We reach something, these stairs have at least a three-footing again from a point will be reached. This condition allows the user has a secure grip for working in the field of waist-to chest-high. If a point lower than the waist to reach or exceed the chest, this will lead to users quickly tired.

Make sure the surface of the ground or floor beneath the stairs in a tough situation, so that the foot of the stairs is not dented. For surface soil or hard floors, stairs should be backed with so feet do not move down the stairs when departure. This mat can be wrapped in rubber sheets on the bottom of the stairs. For soft ground surface, a thick board needs to be placed on the ground as a base of the stairs. The function of these boards is to flatten the existing burden on the ladder and pass them to the ground. In order to lighten the load received by the ground, then the surface of the foot of the stairs “enlarged” by the board.

Less Still High?
Climbing stairs is sometimes still too short to reach something on a high ceiling. This problem can be solved with the help of the other ladder and plank. The first ladder is placed on one side and a second ladder placed on the other side is lower. Then, in between these two steps are stretched “bridge” of wood (called a trestle). Thick wooden planks at least 38 mm, because if too thin, there will be a deflection that makes the user does not work with safe and comfortable.
