Correct safety precautions for ladders (check all that apply)

If the surface is not level, place a block of wood under one leg of the ladder to make it level and straight.

Use only metal ladders near power wires or when doing electrical work.

Keep your body between the vertical rails of the ladder, do not lean out or reach more than one arms length to the right or left.

Face the rungs when climbing a ladder (e.g. the ladder is in front of you), face away from the rungs when decending (the ladder is behind you)

A buddy must hold the ladder steady when you are climbing or decending.

As you climb, firmly grasp each rung above you with both hands.

I should not use a power saw if I have not been trained to use it.

I should respect, but not fear these tools.

I should make sure there is an adult supervising my use of a power saw.
