Introduction

 

Multi-use aluminium extension ladders manufactured to EN131 standards. Ideal for the tradesman, these ladders can be used as a  

 

 

3-section or 2-section extension and as a single ladder, which is ideal for two-man use. Can be used as a step and extension step  

 

 

ladder where stability and height are needed. Compact size for easy handling and storage. Two larger models suitable to extend up to    

 

the apex of a house.

Before use:
a)  Check your physical fitness before using a ladder.

 

Certain pathologies or medicines, overindulgence in alcohol or

 

consumption of drugs can represent a danger. 

b)  When transporting a ladder on the roof rack of your vehicle or  

 

in a lorry, make sure that it is secured firmly to avoid causing any  

 

damage.

c)  Before using the ladder for the first time, check it to ensure

 

that all its parts are in good condition and operate correctly. 

d)  Before use, check the ladder visually to ensure that it has not

 

been damaged and can be used in complete safety. 

e)  Regular checks are essential for all users.

f) 

Check that the ladder is suitable for the job to be done.

g)  Do not use a damaged ladder.

h)  Clean the ladder of any foreign substances such as wet paint,  

 

mud, oil or snow.

i) 

Before using the ladder for professional purposes, risks must

 

be assessed depending on the legislation of the country in use.

Positioning and Erecting Ladders:
a)  Ladders must be put up in the right position, i.e. at the correct

 

angle (inclined at about 1 in 4), with the steps or rungs parallel  

 

for a leaning ladder, or completely open in the case of a trestle  

 

ladder.

b)  Any ladder equipped with locking systems; the locks must be in  

 

the fully locked position. 

c)  Ladders must be placed on flat regular and firm surface. 

d)  Leaning ladders must always be placed on a flat solid surface

 

and be stabilized before use, for example by using ties or any

 

other suitable device for ensuring their stability. 

e)  Ladders must never be repositioned from a point high-up. 

f) 

When installing a ladder take account of any possible risks of

 

collision, e.g. collisions with pedestrians, vehicles or doors.

 

If possible, secure any doors (other than emergency exits) and

 

windows on the site. 

g)  Identify all electrical risks on the work-site, e.g. overhead lines or  

 

any other bare electrical equipment. 

h)  Ladders must rest firmly on their treads and not be on rungs or  

 

steps. 

i) 

Ladders must not be placed on any slippery surfaces (e.g. ice,

 

shiny surfaces or surfaces clearly covered with foreign

 

substances) unless other effective means have been taken to  

 

avoid the ladder slipping. Otherwise, make sure that all dirty or  

 

contaminated support surfaces have been adequately cleaned. 

Using the Ladder:
a)  Do not exceed the maximum load allowed for the type of ladder.

b)  Do not try to reach a point too far away from you; your waist

 

should always be between the ladder’s two uprights and your

 

feet on the same step or rung whilst working. 

c)  Do not climb down a high leaning ladder without using an extra  

 

safety system (for example, a tie or use of a suitable stabilizing  

 

device). 

d)  Do not use a trestle ladder to get up to a higher level. 

e)  Do not stand on the top three steps or rungs of a leaning ladder. 

f) 

Do not stand on the top two steps or rungs of a trestle ladder

 

where there is no platform or support at hand or knee height. 

g)  Do not stand on the top four steps or rungs of a trestle ladder  

 

with an extension ladder on top. 

h)  Ladders should only be used for minor, short-duration jobs. 

i) 

Use non-conductive ladders when working on jobs where

 

electrical power is present. 

j) 

Do not use ladders outside in unfavorable weather conditions

 

(high winds for example). 

k)  Take all necessary precautions to prevent children from playing

 

on ladders. 

l) 

If possible, secure any doors other than emergency exits and

 

windows on the site. 

m)  Climb up and come down a ladder facing it.

n)  Hold the ladder firmly when climbing or coming down. 

o)  Do not use ladders as bridges. 

p)  Always wear suitable shoes for climbing ladders. 

q)  Avoid all excessive lateral constraints such as when using

 

a drill in brick and concrete. 

r)  Do not stay too long up the ladder without making regular  

 

stops (fatigue risks). 

s)  To go up to higher levels, ladders should be extended at

 

least one metre above the height to be reached. 

t) 

Light-weight easy-to-handle equipment should be used   

 

when on a ladder. 

u)  Avoid works that create side loads on trestle ladders, e.g.  

 

for drilling hard materials (brick, concrete, etc.). 

v)  Hold onto the ladder with one hand when working. If this  

 

is not possible, other types of safety measures should be  

 

taken.

 

Repairs and maintenance must be carried out by a  

 

 

qualified person in compliance with the manufacturer’s   

 

instructions. Ladders should be stored according to the   

 

manufacturer’s instructions.
