13. Inspection plan
• There exists the risk of a fall due to damaged,
defective or non- functional ladder units; there is
also a risk of tipping over when using the ladder.
• Users of the ladder can sustain serious injuries
during a fall.
• Objects can likewise be damaged if the ladder
tips over.
• Regular inspection by a qualified person is
required for commercial use.
• The contractor has to ensure that ladders are
inspected recurrently for proper condition (visual
and functional inspection).
For this purpose, the type, scope and time periods
of the required inspections must be determined.
• The time intervals for the inspection will conform
to the operating conditions, in particular the
frequency of use and demands during use as
well as the frequency and severity of established
defects during the preceding inspections.
• The contractor also has to ensure that defective
ladders are removed from use and stored in such
a way that further use is not possible until proper
maintenance or disposal takes place.
