Trumpy are you using aluminum ladders for electric work or just for fire service?

The company I work for has strict safety policies.

A damaged ladder is never to be repaired, they literally get cut up with a sawzall and tossed in the dumpster.

The construction sites get wood ladders and those of us with vans get fiberglass ladders.

Having said that, regularly check that there is NO splintering of any of the glass fibres, fibreglass ladders have a habit of snapping all of a sudden, when the strings start to splinter,

That is scary that the ladder was in service, we would toss a fiberglass ladder long before it got that bad.

Heres some photos I took on the way to work.
