RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION (THE “RECORD”)
After assembling the ladder and before putting it into service, visually inspect the ladder. Record the condition and
appearance of each of the frame members (step weldment, back leg weldment, base support frame members), the
handrails, outriggers, wheels and/or casters, (leg) caps, back platform frame and chain, and all fasteners (bolts, nuts,
etc.). Thoroughly photograph the ladder from multiple angles. Include close range photographs of the rubber leg caps,
casters and wheels, all labeling, and all handrail connections. Add the photographs to the record. Collate all
photographs and writings into a single file. This file is a record of the ladder in satisfactory condition. Compare the
results of all inspections to this Record to determine whether the ladder is in satisfactory condition. Do not use the
ladder unless it is in satisfactory condition. Purely cosmetic changes, like damaged paint or powdercoat, are not
changes from satisfactory condition. However, touchup paint should be applied as soon as damage occurs.
