Great question!
🪜 Ladders and PPE
are essential for safety in construction and installation work.
🔹 Ladders
Ladders are portable climbing tools used to access heights safely. In WiFi installations, ladders are often used to:
- Mount access points on ceilings or high walls
- Run cables above ceiling panels or wall conduits
Types used:
- Step ladders (self-supporting)
- Extension ladders (leaning against a wall)
Safety rules:
- Always place on a stable, level surface
- Do not overreach or climb with both hands full
- Use a ladder spotter for added safety on tall ladders
🔹 PPE = Personal Protective Equipment
PPE refers to the gear that workers wear to protect themselves from physical hazards.
Common PPE for WiFi/IT installation:
| PPE Item | Purpose |
|---|---|
| 🧢 Hard Hat | Protects head from falling objects |
| 🦺 Safety Vest | High visibility for working in busy areas |
| 🧤 Gloves | Protect hands from cuts, abrasions |
| 👟 Safety Shoes | Prevent slips, protect feet from impacts |
| 😷 Dust Mask | Avoid inhaling dust when drilling |
| 🕶️ Safety Glasses | Shield eyes from dust or sparks |
✅ Why They Matter
Using ladders without PPE is a common cause of job site injuries. That’s why a method statement (like for Uni WiFi installation) always includes them as safety requirements.
