When using ladders, what is the minimum angle recommended for stability?

The minimum recommended angle for stability when using ladders is 75 degrees to the ground. This angle strikes a balance between providing enough stability and safety while allowing the user to maintain a comfortable position while working. An angle that is too steep can cause the ladder to tip over backward, while an angle that is too shallow can lead to the ladder slipping away from the wall or surface it leans against. By adhering to this 75-degree guideline, users can minimize the risk of accidents and ensure that the ladder remains secure during use. This safety measure is widely recognized and practiced in both professional and general ladder safety guidelines.
