User information for ladders

1. General notes

1.1. Introduction

This user information describes the safe use of the ladders.

Before use, please read carefully through this user information for

reasons of safety and keep it for future reference.

The user information must be included with the equipment if the lad-

ders are passed on to a new owner.

1.2. Before using the ladders (excerpt from EN 131-3)

a Does your health status permit you to use the ladder? Certain

conditions, taking medication, alcohol or drug abuse can impair

safety when using ladders;

b To prevent damage when transporting ladders on roof racks or in

a lorry, always ensure that they are secured/fitted appropriately;

c Check the ladders on delivery and before using them for the first

time to ensure that they are in a safe condition and that all parts

are functioning properly;

d Carry out a visual inspection of the ladders at the beginning of

each working day on which the ladders are to be used to ensure

that they are undamaged and in a safe working condition;

e For commercial users, regular inspection is mandatory;

f Ensure that the ladder is suitable for the application in question;

g Never use damaged ladders;

h Remove any soiling from the ladder, e.g. wet paint, dirt, oil or snow;

i Before using a ladder, a risk analysis should be carried out, taking

into consideration the legal requirements in the country in which

the ladder is to be used.

1.3. Moving into position and setting up the ladder

(excerpt from EN 131-3)

a The ladder must be set up in the correct position, e.g. correct

angle for single ladders (angle of inclination approx. 1:4), rungs or

treads horizontal and stepladders fully opened;

b Any locking devices fitted must be fully secured before using the

ladder;

c The ladder must be set up on an even, horizontal and stable surface;

d Single ladders should be leant against a flat, stable surface and

secured before they are used, e.g. with appropriate fastenings or

by using a suitable device to ensure stability;

e Never work from above when moving a ladder to a new position;

f When moving a ladder into position, beware of the risk of colli-

sions, e.g. with pedestrians, vehicles or doors. Doors (with the ex-

ception of emergency exits) and windows in the working area

should be locked if possible;

g Evaluate all risks posed by electrical equipment in the working

area, e.g. high-voltage lines or other exposed electrical equip-

ment;

h The ladder must be placed on its feet, not on the rungs or steps;

i Never set up ladders on slippery surfaces (e.g. ice, polished metal

or solid surfaces showing evidence of soiling) unless additional

measures are taken to prevent the ladder slipping or first

cleaning the soiled surfaces appropriately.
