Question

question 1 of 1
a worker sets up to begin a painting job. he lays down a drop cloth and makes sure that the
floor is even so that the ladder is stable. the worker also makes sure that the area around his
painting zone is free of clutter or objects lying on the ground. he then stands with both feet
on the top step of the ladder and starts to paint. what does the worker do incorrectly?
he is working on an uneven,
cluttered surface.
he is not wearing a personal
fall arrest system.
he is standing on the top of
the ladder.

Explanation:

The worker made sure the floor was even and the area was free of clutter. Standing on the top step of a ladder is unsafe as ladders are not designed for that. A Personal Fall Arrest System is typically for higher - elevation work where there's a significant fall risk (not just ladder top - step use in this context).

Answer:

He is standing on the top of the ladder.
