When the ladder is used commercially, a regular and recurring
inspection of its proper condition by a qualified person (visual
and functional inspection) is required.
For this purpose, the type, scope and time periods of the
required inspections should be established.
The inspection intervals should conform to the operating
conditions, in particular the frequency of use, stress during
use as well as the frequency and severity of the defects during
previous inspections.
The contractor must also ensure that damaged ladders are
removed from use and stored in such a way that a re-use is
impossible until they are properly repaired or disposed of.
Inspection points:
All fasteners (rivets, screws, bolts, etc.) must be present.
Are fasteners loose or corroded?
Are ladder rungs possibly worn out, loose, corroded or damaged?
Are the ladder stiles possibly bent, twisted, dented, cracked or corroded?
All ladder steps must be completely present.
Are ladder steps possibly worn out, loose, corroded or damaged?:
Inspect crossbar, feet and end caps for tightness as well as damage and corrosion.
All ladder feet and end caps must be present. Are any ladder feet loose, worn out or corroded?
Check ladder guides for functionality and stability as well as damage and corrosion.
The locking mechanism of the ladder with the rope-pull latch must work properly.
Is the rope-pull latch damaged, loose or corroded?
The pull rope and pulley must be in good condition and functionality must be ensured.

Check condition and functionality of wall roller and fastening elements.
Are all labels present and perfectly legible?
