The following list of hazards and examples of their causes, which is not exhaustive, are common

reasons for accidents encountered when using ladders and are the basis on which the information

in this standard has been developed.

a) Loss of stability:

1) Incorrect positioning of the ladder (such as incorrect angle for leaning ladder or not

fully opening a standing ladder);

2) Slide outwards at the bottom (such as bottom of the ladders sliding away from the

wall);

3) Side slip, falling sideways and top flip (such as overreaching or fragile top contact

surface);

4) Condition of the ladder (such as missing anti-slip feet);

5) Stepping off an unsecured ladder at height;

6) Ground conditions (such as unstable soft ground, sloping ground, slippery surfaces or

contaminated solid surfaces);

7) Adverse weather conditions (such as windy conditions);

8) Collision with the ladder (such as vehicle or door);

9) Incorrect choice of ladder (such as too short, unsuitable task).

b) From handling:

1) Transferring the ladder to the work position;

2) Erecting and dismantling the ladder;

3) Carrying items up the ladder.

c) Slip, trip and fall of user:

1) Inappropriate footwear;

2) Contaminated rungs or steps;

3) Unsafe user practices (such as climbing 2 rungs at a time, sliding down stiles).

d) Structural failure of the ladder:

1) Condition of the ladder (such as damaged stiles, wear UV degradation of plastic parts);

2) Overloading the ladder.

3) Unintended use.

e) Electrical hazards:

1) Unavoidable live working (e.g.: fault finding);

2) Positioning ladders too close to live electrical equipment (such as overhead power

lines);

3) Ladders damaging electrical equipment (such as covers or protective insulation);

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,

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?

— If the ladder is permanently positioned (e.g. on scaffolding), is it secured against unauthorized

climbing (e.g. by children)?

a standing ladder;

b) Locking devices shall be fully secured before use;
