A ladder safety mechanism comprises at least one clamp, preferably a pair of spaced apart clamps, attachable part way along a ladder, to secure the ladder to part of a structure. In some embodiments, the mechanism includes at least one manually operated actuator, such as a rope or cable, coupled to the at least one clamp to enable a user located at the bottom of the ladder to open the at least one clamp to receive the part of a structure. In some embodiments, the at least one clamp is automatically secured to the part of the structure by placing the clamp onto the structure. The at least one manually operated actuator also enables a user located at the bottom of the ladder to open the at least one clamp to release the part of the structure. The at least one clamp is oriented substantially perpendicularly to a part of the structure to which the ladder is to be attached.

The present invention relates to a facility comprising: a fixed frame fixedly installed on an outer wall of a veranda or a balcony of a high-rise building; a foldable evacuation box which can be unfolded in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped having an open top side and has and evacuation door on a side thereof; a fall prevention and evacuation means which can be structurally changed to an emergency stairway for fire evacuation; an evacuation box locking means which allows the foldable evacuation box to be unfolded in a rectangular parallelepiped form; a locking means which holds and fixes the fall prevention and evacuation means to the fixed frame; and an entry prevention door which prevents an evacuee from entering inside a veranda or a balcony from the foldable evacuation box through the fixed frame.

The invention presented is a ladder blocking device attached to a ladder to prevent unauthorized use of the ladder. In one embodiment, the device includes a plurality of prongs that extends from a support system that holds the device onto the ladder. In one alternate embodiment, a shield rests over and is supported by the prongs. In second alternate embodiment, the shield is attached directly to the support system without the presence of the prongs.

A removable and safe covering adapted to be placed over the entire length of an existing ladder thereby covering the rungs and the spaces therebetween and providing a surface for animals to be able to traverse upwards and downwards along the length of the ladder without falling between the rungs and becoming injured.
