When ventilating a window, where should the ladder be placed?

With the tip of the ladder even with the top of the window

Position the ladder so that the tip is level with the top edge of the window. This setup provides a safe, workable height and a favorable angle, letting you stand at the window with a solid stance and reach inside or outside to ventilate without overreaching. It also helps you maintain three points of contact and quick retreat if needed.

Placing the base at the window sill would put you too close to the wall and create an awkward, shallow angle that’s easy to lose footing. Leaning the ladder at an angle along the window frame isn’t the proper position for a stable, controllable venting operation. Placing the ladder away from the window eliminates access entirely and prevents effective ventilation.
