The video is about the possible damages caused by leaning ladders against buildings. The speaker is a trade professional who has been in the construction business for 45 years.
He claims that leaning ladders against buildings can scratch and damage the building and that leaning ladders on moist soil can cause the ladder to sink, which can also damage the building.
People should try to keep ladders away from buildings if possible. He also suggests that people should use caution when leaning ladders against buildings, and to make sure that the ladders are stable on firm ground.
Bonus tips:
When leaning a ladder against a building, make sure that the ladder is at a safe angle. The top of the ladder should be about 3 feet higher than the point where the ladder rests on the ground.
Use a ladder stabilizer to help prevent the ladder from slipping.
If you can, Make sure that someone is holding the bottom of the ladder when you are climbing it.
Do not climb a ladder in windy conditions.
Be aware of your surroundings when you are using a ladder. Watch out for overhead power lines and other obstacles.
