What potential issue can arise from overreaching on a ladder?

Increased fatigue
Loss of balance
Ladder tipping over
Equipment malfunction

The correct answer is: Ladder tipping over

Overreaching on a ladder can lead to the ladder tipping over, which poses a significant safety risk. When a person extends themselves too far to one side while on a ladder, their center of gravity shifts outside the ladder's base of support. This imbalance increases the likelihood of the ladder becoming unstable and toppling, which can lead to falls and serious injuries. Safety protocols suggest maintaining three points of contact and using proper positioning when working on a ladder to avoid such hazards, emphasizing the importance of working within the ladder's safe operational limits.
