feet, sustaining a back
injury. The worker used a moveable stair-step device to ascend
several feet to
a working position. While descending and preparing to step on
the moveable
stair-step, the worker fell. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

not be used to ascend to
or descend from an elevated work space. A moveable stair-step is
designed to be
used with the weight of the user constantly applied over the
center of the
device so that it does not move. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

are maintained in working
order and are used properly and in accordance with the
manufacturer’s
instructions. Remember, when transitioning to an elevated work
position, do not
use a moveable device of any kind unless it is positively
secured against
movement. See the ES&H Manual Chapter 6132 Appendix T1,
Ladders, Section
4.3.2.3 Mobile Ladder Stands and Mobile Ladder Stand Platforms
for important
information.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
