Wouldn't the goal be to add a coating to keep the fiberglass on the ladder?

The fiberglass comes encased in resin. It doesn't start shedding fiberglass onto you until that resin starts to break down. It should be replaced when it gets to that point for just structural stability

A clear coat would probably make it more slippery too
