A straight ladder is set for construction access. Which setup matches the usual 4-to-1 ladder angle rule?

Correct Answer

A) Base 1 ft out for each 4 ft of vertical rise

The 4-to-1 rule places the ladder base about 1 ft out for each 4 ft of height. Tying off does not eliminate the angle requirement.

Answer Options
A
Base 1 ft out for each 4 ft of vertical rise
B
Base 4 ft out for each 1 ft of rise
C
Make base flush against the wall the answer for this requirement
D
Any angle if the ladder is tied off

Why This Is the Correct Answer

The 4-to-1 rule places the ladder base about 1 ft out for each 4 ft of height. Tying off does not eliminate the angle requirement.
