DESIGN & 

LAYOUT

This document does not in any way replace the full 
Australian Standard document AS/NZS 1657-2018 
which should be read and properly understood prior 
to installation of this system.

1.  The hierarchy of risk control must be followed at all times.

2.  Professional guidance on the design and set out of this 

system should be obtained prior to installation.

3.  Certain environments produce acidic atmospheric 

conditions which are detrimental to steel structures and 
surfaces. Any acidic environment must be assessed and 
certified by persons prior to installation of this system.

4.  A cage fall protection system must start 2000mm - 

2200mm from the lower ladder landing.

Must be read prior to installation

5.  The cage is to extend a minimum of 900mm above the 

top exit point of the ladder.

6.  For maximum fall protection effectiveness, a cage fall 

protection system needs to be installed at 75˚.

7.  A caged fall protection system mounted at 90˚ provides 

very limited fall protection. A ladder fall arrest system is 
recommended in conjunction with the ladder cage in this 
situation.

8.  A rung ladder requires a lock off gate to prevent 

unauthorised entry.

It is important to note that the lower the hierarchy 
of control, the greater the skill of the operator 
required and therefore is least preferred compared 
with a higher hierarchy requiring minimal operator 
skill and less risk of operator injury as a result of 
incompetence.
