HOW TO INSPECT LADDERS
PFT Services advise that individuals conduct a visual inspection before using a ladder, which can involve checking for any visible damage or loose parts. It is also essential to ensure its stability, by placing the ladder on a stable, level surface and using appropriate ladder accessories such as stabilisers or levellers if needed.
USING LADDERS CORRECTLY AND SAFELY
Correct ladder set up is crucial for safety. Angle placement and securely locking the ladder are important, alongside checking their stability. PFT Services advises users to always have both hands and one foot or both feet and one hand on the ladder – which is known as the three-point contact check. To ensure proper ladder usage, we suggest that all individuals who use ladders should be familiar with safe practice and proper techniques.
