The first rule to know when using telescoping ladders is that you need to make sure that there is no liquid residue or substance on it such as oil or grease because this would cause you to slip and fall. After you have looked it over make sure that it also has no structural defects so that it doesn’t collapse once you are all the way up there.Now that you have efficiently inspected the extendable ladder itself you need to consider your surroundings. Make sure that the ground in which you have placed the ladder is completely level. In addition to this check that there is nothing around the ladder that might fall and hit the ladder causing you to be thrown from it.
