- Use non-conductive ladders for unavoidable live electrical work.
- Do not modify the ladder design.
- Do not move a ladder while standing on it.
- Stepladders and ladders must always be positioned on their feet and not on the step/rung.
- When carrying out work, always keep both feet on a step/rung of the stepladder or ladder and always face the ladder/stepladder.
2. Leaning ladders
Leaning ladders with rungs shall be used at the
correct angle.
Ladders used for access to a higher level shall be
extended at least 1 m above the landing point and
secured, if necessary.
Do not lean the ladder against unsuitable surfaces.
- Ladder shall never be moved from the top.
- Do never stand higher than the Red Step.
- Only use the ladder (single, extending, ropeoperated) to access a higher level with safety devices in place (for example,
ladder safety step to access a roof/securing to an object).
3. Standing ladders
Do not step off the side of standing ladder onto
another surface.
Use the ladder with restraint devices engaged only.
Do not stand on the top two steps/rungs of a stan-
ding ladder without a platform and a hand/knee rail.
- Never stand on the supporting bracket of the stepladder.
- Do not move the ladder whilst in standing position, this can result in the locking pin shooting out of the combination hook.
4. Extending ladders
Locking devices shall be checked and be fully
secured before use if not operated automatically.
- The loose end of the rope shall be tied to the ladder (only if necessary due to design of ladder).
- By preference, slide an extending ladder out against a wall up to the required height.
- Ensure for multi-section ladders that the hooks properly grip onto or under (rope-operated ladders) the rungs.
- Make sure that it is only possible to climb the ladder from the extended side (except for rope-operated ladders).
- Make sure that the correct sequence is followed when sliding out the ladder: unlock the upper section of the ladder, slide it out to the
required height and then lock it into place. If the ladder has 3 sections, repeat this procedure with the middle section.
- Always slide in the middle section of the ladder first of all (unlock, slide in, lock) and then the upper section of the ladder (unlock, slide in,
lock). Pay particular attention to ensuring that the ladder sections are locked and unlocked at the right time.
Leaning ladders with steps shall be used in such a
way that the steps are in a horizontal position.
Only use the ladder in the direction as indicated,
only if necessary due to design of ladder.
Open the ladder fully before use.
Standing ladders shall not be used as a leaning
ladder unless it is designed to do so.
The part of the ladder with this sign is not allowed
to stand on.
