Ladder Setup
(

(Preview)
My technicians use a 32ft fiberglass ladder, it is quite the behemoth when fully extended. I was thinking about tying a rope to the top of the ladder so they can use some leverage to guide it, when placing it against the house, and taking it away from the house. Any suggestions or do I need to tell my guys...

Rigid brake lines....
(Preview)
We just had one give out. Thank goodness we got back to the yard safely and didn't realize it until the next work day. Be very cautious of rigid brake lines and any other safety hazards as a result of corrosion/rust due to SH. $450 in labor plus parts...Far better than the alternative.... FAR better....

Avoid ladder accidents ...

The video is painful to watch, and the fall was so avoidable. The ladder doesn't fail, the user misses a step. You will miss a step. Plan on it. Use 3-Point Contact and no standing on top 3 rungs of straight or extension ladder. This guy fails both. You can see it coming: http://www.youtube.com/wat...
