Periodic inspections by a competent person are recommended by the manufacturer. In
UK/Europe these are required under Regulation 5 of the Workplace (Health, Safety &
Welfare) Regulations, the Work at Height Regulations and BS EN 365. The frequency will
depend upon the environment, location and usage but should be at least every 12 months.
Walk and visually inspect the complete installed system in relation to the client's general
needs. Establish if any modifications and/or additional products are required to reflect any
refurbishment requirements or additional plant & equipment which have been installed and
require access.
Check installation configuration is complete as per the original installation drawing/plan.
Ensure the system has not been modified or tampered with by un-authorised persons.
Check all base feet are in contact with the roof.
Check all counter weights (where present on original drawing) are in place as per the
original drawing. This is essential for longevity of the roof.
Check all grub screws are in place and correctly torqued.
Check the general height and level of the system including the leg centres and platform
overall configuration.
(This only tends to be an issue if the system has been tampered with between inspections).
Any galvanised components showing signs of corrosion should be wire brushed thoroughly
and galvanised spray/paint applied as appropriate. If rusted significantly, take digital
photographs and include these in the inspection report.
Where toe boards are fitted check the brackets that support the toe board are in place and
sufficiently torqued.
Where applicable check fixings to walls/structures including cat ladder clamps are in place
and sufficiently torqued.
