Preparation: Safety Specialist

LADDER MAINTENANCE:



Aluminium, fiberglass and metal ladders should be cleaned with soap and water, as needed.



Wooden ladders should be cleaned with a mild soap and water, and then dried.

Note: Wooden ladders that have been painted shall be removed from service.

STORAGE AND MOVING LADDERS:



Step ladders must always be secured to a wall or affixed structure, whether they are stored horizontally

or vertically. Horizontal storage either on the floor or hung on the wall must be supported at 4 to 5 foot

intervals; this is the same requirement for vertical storage. Step stools may be collapsed when not in

use.



Ladders should not be stored in areas where there is excessive heat or dampness. Also, it is best to

store ladders away from high traffic areas - people.



When moving a ladder, collapse the ladder, hold the middle side rail and tip slightly forward, watching

for overhead hazards and hazards at both ends

strength of the ladder; do not alter the structure of the ladder
