Re: Werner Work Platform Safety Tip
Great tips Mike. Way to cover all the bases.
I’ve never thought about laying it flat to gain just a couple of inches of reach but I’ll definitely try that sometime. Thanks.

Re: Werner Work Platform Safety Tip
Any time a safety tip is posted, it is a GOOD thing.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Re: Werner Work Platform Safety Tip
That's why when I was in the USAF as a flightline crew chief no matter what we used we had to sign a check in /check out inspection sheet. Even on our stands we used. They taught us to pay attention to details. In our tech manuals, it was notes, cautions and warnings. Notes get your attention, cautions take a piece of you and warnings kill you. This stuck with me sinece 1986. Thanks for posting Mike.

Re: Werner Work Platform Safety Tip
good tip Mike. I'm a stickler for observing people in the work force & pointing out potential hazards. another thing to remember when you're on one of those platforms, is reach. when you're reaching over the roof your thigh is up against the side of your vehicle. the more you reach it cause your thigh to kick out your feet. which will roll back your platform or footstool. and unless you have a roof rack to grab on you're going down. hope I explained it good enough.

also reaching over the hood or windshield. I myself take the extra minute and go around the other side. I've had enough close calls too not push my luck.

Re: Werner Work Platform Safety Tip
I own (2) of these Werner platforms and they are invaluable around the house. But they can become slippery when they get wet and I learned my lesson the hard way when using one when I was washing the house siding. So here's my safety tip - add an anti-slip material to the platform area that you stand on. There's a myriad of materials/options you can use for this, but a common example are the products sold to prevent slipping in the bath tub.
Such as these : https://www.lowes.com/search?searchTerm=moen+tread
I actually used the large Moen Glacier but cut it in to several pieces (it's tub sized) in order to apply it to the platforms. The tread strips would be easier to use but I couldn't find them locally. And shop around, Lowe's price on the Glacier is almost double what I paid at my plumbing supply store that is a Moen dealer.
One final note ... as always, surface prep is key, so clean and wipe the platform with isopropyl alcohol so that the tread's adhesive adheres well.

Great tip Rob - I’ll check our West Marine boating supply store - I know the carry non-skid adhesive tape.
I have almost slipped of these platforms while washing tall vehicles.
