Ladder pre-use checklist

It has 6 checks: Side rails are straight, with no cracks or bends; Rungs are tight and not damaged; Feet are intact and not worn through; Spreaders lock fully and labels are readable; The ladder is rated for the person and the load; No paint, oil or mud on rungs or steps. 2 of them are critical.

When the work happens. Use it before you climb, every time. It takes about a minute.

Write down what failed, who will fix it, and by when. If a critical check fails, stop and fix it, or keep people away from the hazard, before the work goes ahead. In Reldro, a failed check can become a corrective action with an owner and a due date.

No. It's a starting point for your own inspection. Adapt it to your procedures and the rules where you work. Reldro doesn't certify that a site or job is safe or compliant.
