Always maintain 3 points of contact with the ladder at all times e.g. two feet on the same
rung and a hand on the stiles. Use additional safety equipment if this is not possible.
Maintain a handhold whilst working from a ladder or take additional safety precautions if
you cannot.
Do not overreach; always keep your belt buckle (navel) inside the stiles and both feet on
the same step/rung throughout the task.
Avoid work that imposes a sideways load on standing ladders, such as side-on drilling
through solid materials (e.g. brick or concrete).
Do not stand on the top four steps/rungs of a standing ladder with an extending ladder at
the top.
Do not stand on the top three steps/rungs on the ladder; this can cause stability issues.
Do not stand on the top two steps/rungs of a standing ladder without a platform and
hand/knee rail.
Do not use the ladder as a bridge.
Do not use standing ladders for access to another level.
Leaning ladders used for access to a higher level should be extended at least 1m above
the landing point
Do not step off a leaning ladder at a higher level without additional security, such as tying
off or use of a suitable stability device.
Do not step off the side of the ladder.
Do not spend long periods on a ladder without regular breaks (tiredness is a risk).
Take care when closing the ladder to not catch any fingers, clothing or hair in the
mechanisms. Close one rung at a time.
REPAIR, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Fully collapse the ladder, closing all rungs, and secure before storage or handling.
Clean with a suitable proprietary household cleaner and a soft dry cloth. Dry all parts
thoroughly before storing.
Do not submerge your ladder in water or any liquid for any reason.
Store your ladder indoors in a dry environment away from other contaminants. Do not rest
other objects on the ladder. Only store the ladder when it is dry.
Do not subject your ladder system to humid or damp environments. These can damage the
ladder.
Store the correct way up. The base should always sit on the ground.
Repairs and maintenance shall be carried out by a competent person with suitable
replacement parts. Unapproved third party spares are not recommended and will void your
warranty.
