  2. Ladder Q & A • Q: Can I work off an extension ladder? • You can only work off an extension ladder if a proper risk assessment has been completed and an exemption has been approved by the area manager using SPI 99. • Q: What can I use an extension ladder for? • An extension ladder is to be used to gain access to another working level, working platform, or building floor/roof top • Q: The SPI states that ladder frames are to be made of non-conductive material and it also states that rungs may be made of conductive material. Is this correct? • The frame and rungs are two different components of the ladder, the frame is what needs to be non-conductive. • Q: Can I work off of a step ladder? • Yes, as long as it less then 30 minutes in duration.
