Ladders

The importance of ladder inspection systems for work at height

Like all work at height, ladders present the same risk of a fall. All ladders should be subject to an inspection programme to ensure that they are safe and fit for purpose. Always consider why access is needed, whether the risks have been properly assessed and how the operator can remain safe once on the roof. In an ideal situation, collective protection would be in place, but this is not always the case and this is where the need for working at height inspection systems comes into play. If the ladder is deemed unsafe or unsuitable, you need to be able to easily inform all workers of the risk. A ladder inspection system that clearly communicates important safety information is essential to ensure the safety of all workers.
