Performance should include
- positioning the bottom of the ladder at a distance from a vertical plane equal to 1/4 the total working length of the ladder (The ideal ladder angle is 75 degrees.)
- demonstrating various types of ladder raises (e.g., flat raise, beam raise, etc.) using single and multiple personnel
- following safety considerations such as addressing overhead obstruction hazards
- carrying and positioning of roof ladder on a peaked roof.
Process/Skill Questions:
- How can a 75-degree angle be determined without an instrument?
- Why should the wind direction be determined prior to raising a ladder?
- How can a ladder be secured after it is raised?
