Ladder Inspection Checklist

Home > Construction > Ladder Inspection Checklist

This checklist is based on HSE guidance for safe ladder use and helps evaluate the compliance to Work at Height Regulations. The inspection looks for sharp edges, damaged parts, missing or loose steps, rust or corrosion, or missing labels. These inspections should be conducted periodically or after a ladder has fallen or been repaired.
