Safety & Compliance · Basic
Inspect before every use — even if you used the same ladder yesterday. Set up on firm, level ground at the correct angle. Three points of contact when climbing.
A pre-use inspection form for any worker using a portable ladder — step ladder, extension ladder, or combination ladder. Checks structural integrity, feet and anti-slip pads, rung condition, locking mechanisms, maximum load rating, and correct setup angle and placement before use.
Ladder falls cause thousands of workplace injuries annually, yet most are preventable with a simple pre-use inspection and correct setup. Damaged side rails, worn feet, or a malfunctioning locking mechanism can turn a routine task into a serious fall. This quick check takes under two minutes and should happen every time a ladder is set up.
