I've already started looking into other positions I know that I can do well and they have all called me back offering an interview.

Practice your balance op. Try yoga. Dont give up on your dreams. Fuck that shit. Learn to balance dont give up so easy

Get a bigger ladder they all say not to stand on the second to last rung. If boss fires you for not standing on the last rung call OSHA and sue his pants off

OP as soon as you start climbing start taking slow but controlled breaths though your nose, and exhale through your mouth. Focus on your breathing and keep it regular as you climb.

Most of vertigo (and most stress) is caused from unintentional slowdown or acceleration of breathing.

BREATHE but don't go too fast or too slow

Also get a basic harness/strap with a carabiner to attach to the ladder to give a sense of security to help with the anxiety

square breathing. proven life saving technique

You're not supposed to stand on the last 2 steps nugga. It says so right on the ladder. Tell your employer to get bigger ladders

You don't use the last step or top dumbsss, it says right on the ladder.

so.... you went to school for 4 years and never climbed a ladder? you learned all the theory, but the practical application is beyond your capabilities? wtf. If you have anxiety over climbing a ladder then you are pretty doomed. Be a teacher. Construction is not a flexable field of work. ladders have weight limits. If some 350lbs fatass cant climb a ladder cuz he will break it then tough shit. there is no pc movement to accomadate everyone because we are all equal and shit.

yeah but it's not the height at all. I can ride roller coasters, I can climb trees. Hell put me in a scissor life or bucket 50 ft up swaying in the wind I'll be fine. It's when my company wants me to use the last step before the top of the ladder and I can't keep my balance that's when I have a problem.

In school environments they don't have you go that high on a ladder. They very closely follow safety precautions.

>>675700535
your company wants you to use the last step on a step ladder. im sure OSHA and your local or state labor and industries rep would love to talk to the owner.

This. I've seen guys get kicked off the job for standing on the top two steps.

>>675700535
As people have said, you aren't even supposed to use that step. Last two steps are not for stepping. Tell them to get you a taller ladder so you don't have to try to balance where you aren't supposed to anyway (as per OSHA).

Either that or go into a different specialty. Appliance repair, industrial automation (programming PLCs doesn't require climbing ladders), etc. Lots of electrical work that doesn't require you to be standing on ladders.

What kind of nigger tier company do you work for where you are required to break the law in order to stay employes?

Ive worked over a decade in construction. No one follows that safety shit to a t. Why? Because the people who imagine these safety rules and procedures sit in a fucking classroom and have 0 fucking clue how things are actually done. If everyone who built your house followed that shit, the house would cost 10 times as much and take 3 times as long to build. Safety is all fine and dandy, just no where near realistic. You remind me of an engineer who knows how to build anything!...in theory
