The Tie Down Step-N-Safe Extension Ladder Walk-thru is designed
to fit most ladder profiles in the market. Fitting from Type II to
Special Duty Type IAA, the Step-N-Safe incorporates a dual
clamping, non-penetrating, system that locks the rail extensions on
the ladder rails. The addition of the Step-N-Safe to virtually any
extension ladder will allow for a much safer transition to an
elevated walking surface. The Step-N-Safe meets compliance
standards OSHA 1910 and 1926.
Per OSHA regulations, always maintain three points of
contact while assembling and climbing on a ladder.
Remember to
always erect
your ladder
