Using the ladder for non-professional use:
• The user must always ensure that the ladder is also
suitable for the respective use.
Using the ladder for professional use:
• Regular inspection by a qualified person is required
for commercial use (Industrial Safety Regulation).
• The contractor has to ensure that ladders are inspected
recurrently for proper condition (visual and functional
inspection). For this purpose, the type, scope and
time periods of the required inspections must be
determined.
• The time intervals for the inspection will conform to
the operating conditions, in particular the frequency of
use and demands during use as well as the frequency
and severity of established defects during the preced-
ing inspections.
• The contractor also has to ensure that defective lad-
ders are removed from use and stored in such a way
that further use is not possible until proper mainte-
nance or disposal takes place.
• There is inherently a risk of falling when using the
ladder.
All work with and on the ladder should therefore be
carried out in such a way that a risk of falling is kept
as low as possible.
• When using the ladder, there is also the risk of tip-
ping over.
Individuals can be injured and objects damaged due
to the ladder tipping over.
All work with and on the ladder should therefore be
carried out in such a way that a risk of tipping over is
kept as low as possible.
• Repairs and maintenance work on the ladder must be
carried out by a qualified person and according to the
instructions of the manufacturer.
