Is the ladder stored in a position which helps it to remain straight (e.g. hung by the

stiles on proper ladder brackets or laid on a flat clutter free surface).

Is the ladder stored where it cannot be damaged by vehicles, heavy objects, or

contaminants?

Is the ladder stored where it cannot cause a trip hazard or an obstruction.

Is the ladder stored securely where it cannot be easily used for criminal purposes.

unauthorized climbing (e.g. by children).

MAINTENANCE AND STORING YOUR LADDER:

Keep the ladder in a clean, dry place.

Hold the ladder firmly when carrying it.

Never store materials on your ladder.

Keep your ladder clean and free from any foreign matter.

Clean the ladder after each use.

For regular inspection, the following items shall be taken into account:

check that the stiles/legs (uprights) are not bent, bowed, twisted, dented,

cracked, corroded or rotten.

check that the stiles/legs around the fixing points for other components are in

good condition.

check that fixings (usually rivets, screws or bolts) are not missing, loose, or

corroded.

check that rungs/steps are not missing, loose, excessively worn, corroded or

damaged.

check that the hinges between front and rear sections are not damaged, loose

or corroded.

check that the locking stays horizontal, back rails and corner braces are not

missing, bent, loose, corroded or damaged.

check that the rung hooks are not missing, damaged, loose or corroded and

engage properly on the rungs.
