3. MAINTENANCE
Storage
- Ladders made of or using thermoplastic,
thermosetting plastic and reinforced plastic
materials should be stored out of direct
sunlight.
- Ladders made of wood should be stored in a
dry place and shall not be coated with opaque
and vapourtight paints.
The important considerations when storing a ladder
(not in use) should include the following:
- Is the ladder stored away from areas where its
condition could deteriorate more rapidly (e.g.
dampness, excessive heat, or exposed to the
elements)?
- Is the ladder stored in a position which helps
it to remain straight (e.g. hung by the stiles on
proper ladder brackets or laid on a flat clutter
free surface)?
- Is the ladder stored where it cannot be
damaged by vehicles, heavy objects, or
contaminants?
- Is the ladder stored where it cannot cause a trip
hazard or an obstruction?
- Is the ladder stored securely where it cannot be
easily used for criminal purposes?
- If the ladder is permanently positioned (e.g. on
scaffolding), is it secured against unauthorized
climbing (e.g. by children)?
