Why Ladder Inspections Are Required
What Ladders Should Be Inspected
A wide variety of ladder types should be included within an inspection programme. Any ladder used within a workplace environment should be regularly checked to ensure it remains safe for use.
This includes:
- Step ladders
- Extension ladders
- Platform ladders
- Podium steps
- Combination ladders
- Fixed vertical ladders
Each type of ladder presents different risks depending on how it is used. Regular inspections ensure that all equipment is suitable for its intended use and remains in good working condition.
Our Ladder Inspection Process
Sublift follows a structured approach when carrying out ladder inspections to ensure consistency and accuracy across all equipment. Each ladder is visually examined and assessed for signs of damage, wear or deterioration.
Key inspection checks include:
- Condition of stiles and rungs
- Integrity of ladder feet and anti-slip components
- Security of fixings and hinges
- Signs of bending, cracking or corrosion
- General condition and cleanliness
Where issues are identified, clear recommendations are provided outlining whether the ladder can remain in service, requires repair or should be removed from use.
Common Issues Identified During Ladder Inspections
Compliance and Ladder Standards
Ladder inspections should consider whether equipment meets current safety standards. Modern ladders are typically manufactured in accordance with recognised standards such as EN131, which sets requirements for strength, durability and performance.
Older ladders that do not meet current standards may still be in use within workplaces. As part of the inspection process, Sublift can advise on whether equipment remains suitable or if replacement should be considered.
We also provide guidance on selecting compliant access equipment, including EN131 ladders available through our associated supply platform.
Ensuring ladders meet appropriate standards helps improve safety and supports compliance with workplace safety requirements.
