CONFIGURATION AND POSITIONING

The ladder can be used in one of the configurations shown.

• Extension ladder

• Step  ladder

• Extended step ladder

1. When positioning the ladder take 

into account risk of collision with 
the ladder e.g. from pedestrians, 
vehicles or doors. Secure 
adjacent doors (not fire exits) and 
windows where possible.

2. Identify any electrical risks in the 

work area, such as overhead 
cables or other exposed electrical 
equipment.

3. Always place the base of the 

ladder on an even, level surface.

4. Ladders should not be positioned 

on slippery surfaces (such as ice, 
shiny surfaces or significantly 
contaminated solid surfaces). 

5. If in doubt, additional effective 

measures should be taken to 
prevent the ladder slipping such 
as tying the feet of the ladder to 
stakes in the ground, and placing 
a large flat wooden board 
underneath to help prevent it 
sinking.
