Is this step stool safe for job-site use?

It has no ladder rating or certifications, so it is not a substitute for an OSHA-rated ladder. Treat it as a household or light-duty step stand.

How high does it let me reach?

The listing gives a 6 ft. reach height and a 6 ft. industry standard ladder height. That is reach, not standing height, so plan around the top step.

It folds to about 3.93 inches wide, which fits behind a door or in a closet. The listed storage depth is 75.6 inches, so check your storage spot.

There are five steel steps, each about 7.87 inches deep. That depth gives more foot room than narrow rungs.

The listing does not say whether assembly is required. Expect to unfold and check the handrail and hinges before first use.
