General Inspection

Check ladder for any visible damage or defects (e.g., cracks, dents, missing rungs).

Verify that ladder is free from excessive dirt, grease, or any other substances that may cause slipping.

Ensure ladder is properly labeled with its maximum load capacity.

Inspect ladder feet for wear, damage, and secure attachment.

Check ladder hinges, locks, and spreader bars for proper functioning and secure engagement.

Verify that ladder rungs or steps are not bent, loose, or missing.

Ensure ladder is the correct size and type for the intended use.

Inspect ladder safety devices (if applicable) such as stabilizers, levelers, or non-slip mats.

Stability and Placement

Check and ensure ladder is placed on a stable and level surface.

Verify that ladder is secured or tied off when necessary.

Ensure ladder is set at the appropriate angle (75.5-degree angle or 1 foot out for every 4 feet up).

Inspect surroundings for any potential hazards or obstructions that may interfere with ladder stability.

Safe Use

Remind workers to maintain three points of contact while climbing or descending the ladder.

Ensure workers are facing the ladder while climbing or descending.

Check if ladder is being used by only one person at a time.

Verify that workers are not overreaching or leaning sideways while on the ladder.

Inspect if workers are using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as non-slip footwear and fall protection if necessary.

Ensure workers are not carrying heavy or bulky items while climbing the ladder.

Remind workers to maintain a firm grip on the ladder while climbing or working from it.

Check if workers are using ladder for its intended purpose and not improvising.

Maintenance and Recordkeeping

Regularly clean and inspect ladders after each use.

Promptly repair or replace damaged ladders.

Maintain a record of ladder inspections, repairs, and replacements.

Train workers on ladder safety and proper inspection procedures.

Regularly review and update ladder safety policies and procedures based on industry standards and regulations.

Note: This checklist is a general guide. Depending on the specific requirements and regulations of your construction organization, additional sections or items may need to be included.
