Zusammenfassung:	A ladder and platform assembly (10) is described for stability and releasably securing a ladder (16) to a utility pole (12) or the like. The ladder (16) is attached at one end to a platform (14) and includes a pair of generally parallel, spaced-apart legs (18a, 18b) and a plurality of steps (20) disposed between and interconnected between the legs (18a, 18b). The platform (14) includes a latch assembly (30) for stabilizing the platform (14) when the platform (14) is disposed to rest against the pole (12), which has a given configuration. The platform (14) has an opening (25) of a configuration similar to the given configuration for receiving the pole (12). The latch assembly (30) includes a latch (35) pivotally mounted on the platform (14) to move between a first, closed position wherein the latch (35) retains the pole (12) within the opening and a second, closed position wherein the latch (35) permits the pole to be received within or removed from the opening (25).
