2. What is the 1 in 4 rule for ladders?
The 1 in 4 rule means for every 4 feet of height, the base of the ladder should be 1 foot away from the wall or support. This ensures the ladder is at a safe and stable angle to prevent it from tipping over.

3. What is the correct angle for a ladder?
The correct angle for a ladder is about 75 degrees. A simple way to check this is by standing with your toes touching the ladder’s base and reaching out with your arms—your hands should touch the ladder comfortably.
