I bought one of the little giant ladders at a trade show a loooong time ago and I would never part with it.
It's sturdy, safe, light enough to easily carry and fits almost anywhere. Breaking it into 2 separate parts to use for scaffolding also comes in handy; since the old method was to use a ladder at 1 end and a pile of boxes (or a trash can) at the other. I even got my 24-footer in a 2 door sports car without having anything sticking out the windows or sunroof.
Caution - If you think OSHA is a small town in Wisconsin, you're in a lot of trouble.
