Steps for Entry and Exit of a Roof (cont.)

2.  Ensure base of ladder is on stable, level ground at a ratio of 1m wide to 4m high.

3. 

If possible secure base of ladder.

4. 

Fit safety harness before ascending the ladder; do not attach yourself to the ladder unless the ladder has been 

secured top and bottom. 

Note: Only when the ladder has been properly secured can a worker safely attach to the ladder with a restraint line 

no longer than 600mm and it should be attached to the front loops of the harness restraint point.

5. 

A temporary ladder can only be used as a work platform if all the above conditions are met.

6. 

Before stepping from the ladder onto the roof structure, ensure you have securely connected your restraint line or 

shock absorbing lanyard to the first roof anchor point.

7. 

When leaving the roof structure ensure both feet are securely on the ladder before disconnecting from the roof 

anchor point.

When working at heights with foot clearance less than 4.15 metres fall clearances are very important as a 2m shock 

absorbing lanyard requires foot clearance of 4.15metres (refer to diagram on fall clearances). If your fall clearance is less 

than this then shorter lanyards are required.
