Ladder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (611 words)
Ladders with fiberglass stiles are used for working on or near overhead electrical wires, because fibreglass is an electrical insulator.
This enables the ladder to clear overhanging obstacles such as the eaves of a roof, and increases the safe working height for a given length of ladder.
A ladder is also used on the side of a boat, to climb into it from the water, and in a swimming pool.
