Here are some additional steps that could be included in the Pre-Use Inspection section of your step ladder checklist

Inspect the ladder's feet for wear or damage to ensure proper grip on the surface

Confirm that the ladder is set up on a stable and level surface

Check that all labels and markings are legible and intact, including weight capacity and safety instructions

Ensure that hinges and pivot points are operating smoothly without any obstruction

Verify that the ladder's locking mechanisms engage securely when extended

Look for any signs of rust or corrosion, particularly on metal components

Make sure there are no loose screws or bolts that could compromise the ladder's integrity

Test the ladder’s stability by gently shaking it to ensure it does not wobble

Check that any extension components are fully retracted and secured before use

Review the user manual for any specific pre-use checks recommended by the manufacturer

Choose a stable, level surface for the ladder placement.

Extend the ladder fully and lock all mechanisms in place.

Ensure the ladder is at a safe angle (approximately 75 degrees).

Do not overreach; keep your body centered on the ladder.
