{{ay prerequisite|Outreach|Parade Floats}}

==2. Review with your team the basic safety requirements concerning usage of ladders, hand tools, knives, and other power equipment used to complete this honor.  Demonstrate safety in all aspects of creating your float.==
'''Note: Risk Management (adventistrisk.com) has guidelines listed on their website concerning safety management.'''
===Ladders===
Any ladder purchase in the past 20 years or so will be covered with warning labels.  Read them.  In general, they will say the following:
#Do not climb a ladder unless it is stable, steady, and all its legs are on solid ground.
#The second highest step (of a step ladder) will be labelled with a warning that says ''Do not stand on or above this step.''  Heed that warning.
#Keep your weight centered between the ladder's upright rails.  This means you should not lean out away from the ladder to either side.  If you can't reach something without leaning out, get off the ladder and move it.  Yes, it's inconvenient, but so are ambulance trips and broken bones.
#Be sure a step ladder's braces are locked.
#Do not climb the back of a step ladder, or stand on the paint/tool holder.
#Keep the steps dry and clean.
#Wear slip-resistant shoes.
#Keep aluminum ladders away from electrical wires.
#Set a ladder up at the proper angle.  If too steep, it could fall backward with you on it, or you could fall off.  If too shallow, it may not be able to hold your weight without breaking, or it could slip out from under you.  Ladders are usually marked with angles of proper use.
