39、ding ladder); 3) slide outwards at the bottom (such as bottom of leaning ladders sliding away from the wall); 4) side slip, and top flip for leaning ladders (such as overreaching or fragile top contact surface); 5) falling sideways; 6) condition of the ladder (such as missing anti-slip feet for lean

40、ing ladders); 7) stepping off an unsecured ladder at height; 8) ground conditions (such as unstable soft ground, sloping ground, slippery surfaces or contaminated solid surfaces); 9) adverse weather conditions (such as windy conditions); 10) collision with the ladder (such as vehicle or door); b) fr

41、om handling: 1) transferring the ladder to the work position; 2) erecting and dismantling the ladder; 3) carrying items up the ladder; c) slip, trip and fall of user: 1) inappropriate footwear; 2) contaminated rungs or steps; 3) unsafe user practices (such as climbing two rungs at time, sliding down
