3 TECHNOLOGY LADDER SAFETY POSITIONING AND ERECTING THE LADDER When positioning the ladder take into account risk of collision with the ladder e.g from pedestrians, vehicles or doors. Secure doors (not fire exits) and windows where possible in the work area. Identify any electrical risks in the work area, such as overhead lines or other exposed electrical equipment. Ladders shall not be positioned on slippery surfaces (such as ice, shiny surfaces or significantly contaminated surfaces) unless additional effective measures are taken to prevent the ladder slipping or ensuring contaminated surfaces are sufficiently clean. Leading ladder should lean against a flat non-fragile surface and should be secured before use e.g. tied or use of a suitable stability device. Ladder shall be erected at the correct position and angle (inclination approximately 1:4) with rungs or treads level. Locking devices, if fitted, shall be fully secured before use. Ladder shall be stood on its feet, not the rungs or feet. Ladder shall be stood on its feet, not the rungs or steps. Ladder shall never be repositioned from above. Ladder shall be on an even, level and unmoveable base. THE SAFE WAY Use ladder correct way up Right height for the job - no overreaching Good grip Correct flat shoes Clean rungs Ladder in good condition Two non-slip feet in good condition Ladder at correct angle degrees Firm, level and unmoveable base Ensure ground is free from contaminants ONE OUT FOUR UP USING THE LADDER Do not exceed the maximum total load for the type of ladder. Do not overreach, users should keep their belt buckle (navel) inside the stiles and both feet on the same step/rung throughout the task. Maintain a handhold whilst working from a ladder or take additional safety precautions if you cannot. Avoid excessive side loadings e.g. drilling brick and concrete. Keep a secure grip on the ladder when ascending and descending. Face the ladder when ascending and descending. Wear suitable footwear when climbing a ladder. Do not step off a leaning ladder at a higher level without additional security, such as tying off or use of a suitable stability device. Leaning ladders used for access to a higher level should be extended at least 1.1m above the landing point. Do not stand on the top three steps/rungs of a leaning ladder. Ladders should only be used for light work of short duration. Use non-conductive ladders for unavoidable live electrical work. Do not use the ladder outside in adverse weather conditions such as strong wind. Take precautions against children playing on the ladder. Secure doors (not fire exits) and windows where possible in the work area. Do not use the ladder as a bridge. Do not spend long periods on a ladder without regular breaks (tiredness is a risk). Equipment carried while using a ladder should be light and easy to handle. KEY TO SYMBOLS In stock LEAD TIME 76 T F E INFO@ACCESSSYSTEMSUK.COM W
