LADDER CARE AND WARNINGS
CARE AND USE OF LADDER
• Users must read and understand the user instructions
before being allowed to use a ladder. As an
alternative, employers must instruct employees in the
proper use of the units prior to allowing use.
• Ladder must be visually inspected prior to
use. Inspection is for damage, unusual wear,
deterioration or corrosion. Any loose bolts, nuts
or connections must be tightened. All threaded
fasteners must be equipped with locking hardware.
• Damaged or weakened components are not to
be used until repaired. Units that are damaged
subsequent to their receipt and/or are worn beyond
repair must be removed from service.
• Overreaching while on a unit can cause instability
and result in a fall. Always place the unit in close
proximity to the work. Descend from unit and
relocate it to avoid overreaching.
• General maintenance of ladder includes cleaning,
lubrication, painting and replacement of wheels,
casters and rubber pads.
• Ladder stands and ladder stand platforms must
never be moved while occupied.
• Units must not be loaded beyond their rated load
capacity. Materials and/or equipment must not be
stored on the steps or platform of a unit.
• Additional height must not be gained by the
addition of any type of extension or object being
placed upon the unit.
• Users must remove foreign materials, such as mud or
grease, from their shoes prior to ascending.
• Handrails should be used while ascending or
descending. The user must face the steps while
ascending or descending.
• Occupied units must not be placed in front of a
door unless the door is secured in an open position,
locked, attended or barricaded.
• Use ladder on level surfaces only. It is not to be used
on uneven or sloping surfaces.
• Users are not permitted to stand on components of
the unit other than the steps or platform.
• Climbing a damaged ladder is not permitted.
• Repairs of units must be performed by qualified
personnel only.
CAUTION! Users are cautioned to take proper
safety measures when units are used in areas
where electrical lines exist. These precautions
should prevent any possible contact with an
energized insulated conductor (electrical line)
in order to avoid shock.
