Ladders put to the test
All work equipment such as ladders and steps must be regularly inspected. In addition, employers must also provide their employees with instructions and information on the safe use of ladders in the company. The aim is to ensure the safe and correct use of ladders in day-to-day operations at all times. This is because the danger zones on an industrial ladder are many and varied:
- Hinges
- Safety bars
- Spars and rivets
- Steps
- Feet
- Spreader
- Bridge lift attachment
This inspection is carried out by a suitable specialist. This can be an external person as well as the company's own trained employees. However, how often a ladder inspection must be carried out depends on the individual operational conditions. The type, scope and intervals depend, for example, on the type of ladder, where it is used and its regular use.
