I'd just as soon work off that as any other ladder. We used to have a 12' with 6 or 8 foot extention. It is a clincher getting used to, but once you do it is completely stable. (All OSHA rules strictly adhered to, BTW...:roll: :grin: )
Seriously, I felt as safe on that ladder as any step or extention.

I think you have a 50-50 chance of surviving a 35 foot fall, and the ones who survive wish they didn't. It's physical therapy forever after.
Speaking of risks, your avatar could be showing me when I first realized there was something inside wall outlets that I didn't understand.

If i caught a guy swaying a lift to taunt another employee, it would be his last day on any job site i was running, no horse play of any kind, lifts are not an amusment park rides, the guys that find pleasure in this are not the ones i want as employees.

One man's horseplay is "separating the wheat from the chaff" to another. There's even a power company that recruits lineman apprentices by taking them up in their tallest truck to purposely try and scare the crap out of them.satcom said:

It is just my way of doing things, I will not judge another companies practice in this area, i have many years at flying stunt planes, and i know a few of these guys that would never get in a lift or a bucket, the utility sorting out men on a test is a bit different then just horse play.

I really need a 16 footer but 850 bucks is a little to steep for me right now. Theres other things that I need first. If I need to get that high Ill borrow one from my old boss.

Thats the truth, I work for the poco for a while in the line department. They make you do a few test before they hire you. Basic climbing they made us climb down the insulators and sit on the wire on a transmission tower about 80' up. Nothing you would ever do in the field, but they wanted to make sure you were okay with working at that height. The instructors also like to to bang there hammer right next to your hands if you were holding on with you body belt on. They said two hands for the company, trust you tools.

I have a 6' to 11' Little giant . I call it my stair-case ladder.
It works great on stair ways. It is kinda heavy to set up.But is a stable ladder.It is the best thing i have found for installing those stair-way lights.
These ladders are a little pricey but i look at it this way what is your safety worth?

This is in direct violation of the current OSHA laws. They are not selling jungle jims just ladders.mivey said:
