One of our Utilicom Safety family members had her mind on safety when she spotted this employee of an unnamed retail store using this ladder improperly. Great eyes catching this one. Where the employer is ultimately responsible for this violation, this is a great example of incorrect behavior on the part of the employee not only putting him/herself in danger but also putting the company at risk for a costly injury and/or an OSHA fine. Never use the top platform as a step, never use a step ladder as an extension or single ladder. Check the capacity rating also. The 4:1 ratio must also be used. Ironically, that may be the only thing this employee has right. Be safe, and stay vigilant.
