6. Make sure items can be carried with one hand. The other hand should be free to hold the rail.
9. Fixed Access Ladders
Fixed access ladders are permanent vertical climbing structures attached to buildings, industrial facilities, or other structures to provide safe and secure access to elevated areas. Maintain three point contact by keeping two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand on a ladder at all times.
