Abstract:
A ladder step safety guard used with a step ladder and other types of ladders. The safety guard is designed to prevent a user of the ladder from stepping on a top step and the top of the ladder when in use and therefore help reduce the chance of a fall and serious injury to the user. The safety guard includes a front cover with ladder leg attachments for removably securing the front cover to the front of the top step and covering the space between the top step and the ladder top. Also, the safety guard can include a top cover for receipt over the ladder top and a rear cover for covering a space between a top back leg brace and the ladder top. Further, the guard can include tool storage pockets in the front and read covers for storing tools therein. The safety guard can be made of a flexible fabric material and similar materials having sufficient strength to guard the space between the top step and the top of the ladder.
