The EN131 is a European Union Certification for portable steps and ladders.

The most important benefit of a fibreglass ladder over the metal counterparts is its resistance to electricity and flames. This is the electricians choice for working around live high voltage sources, as it can withstand 25-30000 volts. Fibreglass ladders are extremely weather resistant, with it not being weakened by the sun or doesn't corrode or rust.

There should always be a minimum 3-rung overlap between sections for safety reasons.

As a general rule of thumb you should move the ladder out 1m for every 4m up. This gives the safest angle to work from.
