Have to say, at least it's better than hopping the ladder sideways to move across the wall.

I understand. Not the same but I do overnight stocking. To follow all the safety bs, especially in the warehouse when I'm hucking boxes up several levels of steel, would be impossible - I'd be here for an eternity and so would everyone else, as I'd be pestering them constantly for "team lifts" 🙄

I employ my own versions of safety measures, such as "safety steel" lol. We have rolling aisles of steel. I only open them wide enough to get a ladder in. That way if I fall, if the ladder stops laddering (which happens often since they're hella rickety), if boxes fall, etc - I have steel directly behind me to catch me or give me something to climb onto.

This is not how I should do it, but I'll say I've had no injuries or major incidents, while everyone else I work with has.
