6.0 PROCEDURE
Below are the details of sequence how the procedure to be done

6.1 PRE - OPREATIONAL SAFETY CHECK

6.2 PRE - START SAFETY CHECK
6.3 START-UP SAFETY CHECK
6.4 HOUSEKEEPING

6.1 PRE - OPERATIONAL SAFETY CHECK

1. Always refer to the manufacturer’s label for load ratings and other safety information. The rated capacity must
be sufficient to accommodate the weight of the person and everything that they are carrying.
2.ALWAYS inspect the ladder before each use to ensure there are no worn parts or damage before climbing:
- joints between steps and side rails is tight, all fittings/rivets are secure, moving parts operate freely
- steps are free of mud, paint splatter, oil and grease, welds are intact
- all components of ladder intact including side rails, steps, and feet are in good condition
- side rails are free of excessive denting or other signs of wear.
Keep any auxiliary equipment in good condition at all times e.g. levellers, anchor points, wall plates, platforms. If
any component is found to be worn or damaged, immediately remove the ladder from service, label it as ‘out-of-
service’ and notify the appropriate supervisor. Rectify any faults before use.
6.2 PRE - START SAFETY CHECK

1.Choose the right ladder for the job. Fiber glass ladder for electrical work.
2.Ensure the ladder is the proper height. The top step and next two steps down on a ladder are not intended for
climbing. Do not improvise to gain additional height.
3.Inspect the area to ensure there are no surface, aerial or nearby hazards.
4.Do not work at heights if affected by a medical condition or medication.
When transporting your ladder, check for overhead power lines, live wires, service cabling, electrical fittings e.g.
ceiling fans or electrical hazards. Use two people to carry and erect long or heavy ladder

6.3 START UP SAFETY CHECK

1. Ensure the ladder is placed on dry, firm, level surface and not subject to skidding or slipping. Position the
ladder until all feet have firm contact with the floor. Always check there is no rocking movement before climbing
the ladder. Do not use blocks, rocks, boxes or other items to ‘level up’ or gain height.
2. Do not position a ladder in an area where it can be bumped or dislodged e.g. doorway, passage way, window
opening). If a ladder needs to be located where it can be struck or displaced, secure the area by locking doors,
placing barricades or using another appropriate action.
3. Do not use a ladder in strong winds, heavy weather or when visibility is poor e.g. poorly lit areas.
4. Ensure the ladder is fully opened before climbing. Always face towards the ladder when climbing, and always
maintain three points of contact with the ladder. Tool bags or tool belts can help to keep hands free.
5. Only one person is permitted on the ladder at any time. A second person may stand alongside the ladder and
help to steady it, or pass materials/tools up if required. Follow buddy system procedure. Do not lift heavy weights
that unbalance the ladder.
6. Maintain a safe, balanced stance while on the ladder. Do not over reach whilst using the ladder. Always get
off to shift position – never ‘walk’ the ladder whilst on it.
7. Always maintain the majority of your body weight inside the perimeter of the work platform or ladder stiles.

6.4 HOUSEKEEPING

1. Return ladders to secure storage in a clean and in safe working order.

7. LADDER SAFETY DO AND DON’T

To prevent workers from being injured due to falls from various types of ladders, including extension ladders and
stepladders, employers are encouraged to adopt the following practices :

Safe extension ladder use DO :

- Maintain a 3-point contact (two hands and a foot, or two feet and a hand) when climbing/descending a ladder.
- Face the ladder when climbing or descending.
- Keep the body inside the side rails.
- Use extra care when getting on or off the ladder at the top or bottom.
- Avoid tipping the ladder over sideways or causing the ladder base to slide out.
- Carry tools in a tool belt or raise tools up using a hand line. Never carry tools in your hands while climbing
up/down a ladder.
- Extend the top of the ladder three feet above the landing.
- Keep ladders free of any slippery materials

Safe extension ladder use DONT :

- Place a ladder on boxes, barrels, or unstable bases.
- Use a ladder on soft ground or unstable footing.
- Exceed the ladder’s maximum load rating.
- Tie two ladders together to make them longer.
- Ignore nearby overhead power lines.
- Move or shift a ladder with a person or equipment on the ladder.
- Lean out beyond the ladder’s side rails.
- Use an extension ladder horizontally like a platform

Safe step ladder use DO :

- Read and follow all the manufacturer’s instructions and labels on the stepladder.
- Look for overhead power lines before handling or climbing a ladder.
- Maintain a 3-point contact (two hands and a foot, or two feet and a hand) when climbing/descending a ladder.
- Stay near the middle of the ladder and face the ladder while climbing up/down.
- Use a barricade to keep traffic away from the ladder.
- Keep ladders free of any slippery materials.
- Only put ladders on a stable and level surface that is not slippery.
Safe step ladder use DON’T :
- Use stepladders for a purpose other than that for which they were designed.
- Use a stepladder with spreaders unlocked.
- Use the top step or cap as a step.
- Place a ladder on boxes, barrels or other unstable bases.
- Move or shift a ladder with a person or equipment on the ladder.
- Use cross bracing on the rear of stepladders for climbing.
- Paint a ladder with opaque coatings.
- Use a damaged ladder.
- Leave tools/materials/equipment on stepladder.
- Use a stepladder horizontally like a platform.
- Use a metal stepladder near power lines or electrical equipment.

8. LADDER TYPES AND USE.

A) Self-supporting (step) ladders – Often A-shaped, these ladders stand up on their own and come in a wide
variety of materials and duty ratings. Self-supporting ladders must have a spreader or locking device that is
locked before using. Never use a self-supporting ladder in the closed position.
B) Straight ladders – Lean a straight ladder onto a structure to reach an upper level. When using a straight
ladder, the top of the ladder must exceed the height of the structure it’s leaned on by three feet and it must be
leaned at a 75-degree angle—i.e. 1:4 or 1 foot out from the wall for every four feet of ladder height.
C) Extension ladders – Extension ladders, available in 5m to 18m heights, are straight ladders with a base
section and a fly section that can be adjusted for various heights.
D) Platform ladders – Platform ladders are step ladders with a platform area and a top handrail. The same
guidelines apply as for A-frame ladders.

Your ladder’s feet should enable it to hold the weight of you and your supplies without slipping or digging
too far into the ground.
If you don’t have access to the right ladder for the job, or if you are asked to operate a ladder incorrectly,
notify someone right away. Under OSHA law, you have the right to refuse work until you can perform your
duties safely
9. LADDER HEIGHT REGULATIONS.

Select a ladder that will allow you to complete your desired task while remaining securely balanced, and you
should never stand on the top two rungs of a step ladder or above four rungs from the top on an extension
ladder.
An extension or straight ladder used to access an elevated surface must extend at least 3 feet above the point of
support. A ladder extended to a height of 48-ft or longer requires a 6-ft extension beyond the eave.

10. POTENTIAL HAZARD.

A) Falls from height
B) Falling objects
C) Awkward posture
D) During of task
E) Repetition of movement
F) Sprains/strains
G) Pedestrians
H) Electrocution
