Three safety precautions against electric shock when using ladders.

1. All ladders must be kept away from power lines - especially metal ladders. Many people know that metal ladders can not be used in places where there is a risk of electric shock. However, many people in the United States are still electrocuted every year because the metal ladder falls on the exposed wire. Therefore, do not take chances.

1. It should also be noted that do not think that the ladder material is not metal, which can prevent electric shock. Because even the wooden ladder and the glass fiber ladder may have the problem of electric shock when they are wet. So we should pay attention.

1. Do not use ladders for outdoor work in rainy weather. This is not only to prevent slipping on rainy days but also to prevent electric shock. In rainy weather, there are a lot of water molecules in the air, which increases the possibility of current propagation.
