Ladder security bracket and safety system

A ladder security bracket consisting of:

• a) a linear transverse member, about 1 to about 24 inches in length, having a first end and an opposed second end;
• b) a linear first lateral stop member, about 5 to about 13 inches in length, having a first end and an opposed second end and connected at said first end to said transverse member first end wherein an angle between said first lateral stop member and said transverse member is about ninety degrees;
• c) a linear second lateral stop member, of identical length to said first lateral stop member, having a first end and an opposed second end and connected at said first end to said transverse member second end wherein said second lateral stop member is parallel to said first lateral stop member and extends in the same direction as said first lateral stop member from said transverse member;
• d) a linear first mounting member having one or more apertures therein, said first mounting member being connected to said first lateral stop member second end wherein said first mounting member is parallel to said transverse member and extends in an opposite direction as said transverse member from said first lateral stop member;
• and
• e) a linear second mounting member having one or more apertures therein, said second mounting member being connected to said second lateral stop member second end wherein said second mounting member is parallel to said transverse member and to said first mounting member and extends in an opposite direction as said transverse member from said second lateral stop member;
• wherein said ladder security bracket can be placed over at least one rail of a ladder when the ladder is leaning against a structure such that said mounting members contact a vertical surface of the structure and the at least one rail of the ladder is positioned between the lateral stop members and between the structure and the transverse member.
