General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.
A fall from a low height can be serious. Occasional tasks also need assessment.
A ladder or stepladder primarily provides access; it should not be the default workstation.
INRS recommends seeking suitable equipment providing collective protection, such as an appropriate platform.
Exceptions allowing use as a workstation are restricted and depend notably on the risk assessment.
Before the task, clarify the chosen equipment, access conditions and working method with your supervisor.
A short task alone does not justify using a ladder: organisation and protective measures need assessment.
