Rules & regulations
Ladders
Ladders can be used when it is not practicable to use a working platform, or if the activity is low risk. Ladders must be used in accordance with manufacturer's instructions at all times.
Additionally, the following guidelines must be followed:
- The use of portable ladders measuring 5m or more is strictly prohibited
- Ladders cannot be used for works over 4m. Scaffold Towers must be used in this case
- Ladders must have ‘industrial’ rating (this type are more durable and resilient)
- Leaning ladders must be placed at the correct angle
- Ladders should only be used on level ground and must be secure e.g., suitably tied or, as a last resort footed
- The top treads or steps must not be used as a platform for work
- Users should always face the ladder whilst climbing or dismounting
- Stepladders should not be used sideways-on where sideways loads are applied
- Only one person should climb or work from a ladder or a stepladder
- Steps and ladders should be checked for suitability and defects each time they are used
- All workers must wear a helmet to secure their safety
