Fix roof access before the step-off
Explain why roof-access ladders need sufficient extension, stable support, and displacement control.
Compare the risky roof-access setup with the corrected one. What changed, and why does it matter? Before: the ladder reaches the edge, but it does not create a safe access path. After: extension, securing, and traffic control protect the step-off. The ladder extends above the landing, giving the climber a rail handhold during the weight shift from rung to roof. The top is secured so the ladder cannot kick sideways as the climber steps off. The base is protected from cart traffic, because displacement by other work can turn a good climb into a fall.
