Louisville Ladder, Inc. manufactures products in ompliance with the
applicable safety codes of the
AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS
INSTITUTE (ANSI).
There are a variety of ANSl safety codes depending on material and
type of ladder. You can find a list of them in the figure on the right.
In addition, ANSI codes have established a Duty Rating which identifies the use for which
a portable ladder is intended and the conditions under which the ladder can be used
safely. An extensive series of tests and design requirements determines which Duty Rating
label a particular ladder may receive. The total load supported includes the combined
weight of the user, clothing, tools and any materials on the ladder. However, ladders must
be used properly in order to support the intended load.
AT LOUISVILLE LADDER
, all of our products are designed and constructed to meet
or exceed applicable standards and requirements of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and Canadian
