Comparative analysis of engineering solutions against the shift of the upper part of the ladder when performing work at height

Abstract

Introduction. Modern construction is characterized by work at a height using stairs. The article presents various engineering solutions aimed at preventing injuries during such work. Problem Statement. The objective of this study is to compare the available engineering solutions aimed at preventing the upper part of the ladder from shifting when performing work at height. Theoretical Part. The work shows the ranking of the existing technical means that allow fixing the upper part of the ladder on the surface of the support and reducing the risk of sliding the upper part of the ladder on the support. It is shown that the structure fixed to the support has the least risk in ensuring the safety of work at height. Conclusion. The article defines the most promising directions of development of technical solutions against shifting the upper part of the ladder.
