Picture This! One Rung Away from Danger

Here’s a housekeeping hazard waiting to play out. This worker is wearing a hardhat and maintaining at least three points of contact with a ladder, but he could be one rung away from making contact with a sharp piece of metal. Should he bump into this object with his shoulder or an unprotected eye, the shock and pain could easily cause him to lose his grip and fall backwards, with potentially disastrous results. (ELCOSH)
