Pre-Use Inspection
Check for any visible damage or wear on the ladder.
Ensure all parts are functioning properly (e.g., rungs, locks).
Verify that the ladder is clean and free of debris.
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.

Do not overreach; keep your body centered on the ladder.
Avoid using the ladder in high winds or adverse weather conditions.
