Planned Methods To Reduce Risks

• Ladders will be checked to ensure correct length, type and condition before use.
  

• Ladders will be secured at the top or at the bottom to prevent slipping.
  

• Staff will be suitably trained in the safe use of ladders.
  

• Ladder work will be restricted to that which can be carried out using one hand only.
  

• Ladders will only be used on a firm and level base.
  

• All work carried out using ladders will be in compliance with current legislation
  and codes of practice.
  

• Aluminium ladders will not be allowed on site where unguarded electrical
  equipment is present.
