I'm pretty sure that the firm I used to work for would have frowned on
this as a working practice.Â* Does anyone have any comments on safety

They probably used to call those ladder "cripples" for a reason!

AIUI you can still use such things, but they must have guard rails. e.g

And it's primarily employers who have to watch such things. AFAIK

have to worry about their insurance. And I'd worry about the Mental
