Introduction 1.1 Purpose This Practice provides the fabricator and erector with a standard fixed ladder and cage design to be used in process industry facilities. This Practice also provides process industry companies with design guide information to be used in specifying, and locating fixed ladders and cages. 1.2 Scope ‘This Practice shows the design details for fabrication and installation of typical Occupational Safety and Health Administration-regulated ladders for structures, miscellaneous platforms, and vessels for regular operational access/egress. ‘These details are intended to be issued to the fabricators supplying these ladders and to the erectors for use in installation, Any conflicts or inconsistencies between this Practice, the design drawings, or other contract documents shall be brought to the attention of the buyer for resoluti References Applicable requirements in the following PIP Practices, codes and standards, and government regulations shall be considered an integral part of this Practice. The edition in effect on the date of contract award shall be used, except as otherwise noted. Short titles will be used herein when appropriate. 24 Process Industry Practices (PIP) — PIP STS05120 - Fabrication of Structural and Miscellaneous Steel ~ PIP STS0S130 - Erection of Structural and Miscellaneous Stee! 2.2 Industry Codes and Standards ‘© American National Standards Institute (ANSI) — ANSIA143 - American National Standard for Ladders-Fixed-Safety Requirements ‘+ American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) — ASTM A36/A36M - Standard Specification for Carbon Structural Steel — ASTM A123 - Standard Specification for Zinc (Hot Galvanized) Coatings on Products Fabricated from Rolled, Pressed, and Forged Steel Shapes, Plates, Bars, and Strips - ASTM A307 - Standard Specification for Carbon Steel Externally Threaded Standard Fasteners — ASTM A385 -Standard Practices for Providing High-Quality Zinc Coatings (Hot-Dip) Page 20f9 Process Industry Practices ‘TECHNICAL CORRECTION PIP STFOS501 February 2002 Fixed Ladders and Cages 2.3. Government Regulations ‘The following government document has been used as a reference in the development of this Practice. ‘© U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Regulations 29 CFR 1910 Subpart D (Walking-Working Surfaces) Modifications or deviations from this Practice should be reviewed by appropriate personnel to assure compliance with applicable safety regulations and requirements by state or local agencies that have jurisdiction where the ladder is to be erected. 3.___Design 3.1 The project design drawings and data sheets specify the ladder location and orientation, whether or noi a cage is required, special fabrication details, and any changes to the requirements of this Practice. Unless noted otherwise on the contract documents, a self-closing double bar safety gate, in conformance with OSHA, shall be provided forall ladders. 3.2. All structural material shall be ASTM 436 steel unless otherwise noted. 3.3 The entire ladder shall be welded construction except as shown. All welds shall be smooth, continuous, and sealed. Fabrication shall comply with PIP S7S05120. 3.4 All ladder bolts shall be 5/8-inch (16-mm) ASTM 4307 bolts unless otherwise noted. 3.5. Ladder rung design is based on a 200-pound (890-N) concentrated live load. 3.6 Ladder connections are designed for a maxinium total load (dead plus live) of 1000 pounds (4.4 kN) on one side rail. 3.7 Cages shall be provided on ladders of more than 20 feet to a maximum unbroken length of 30 feet, where the length of ladder refers to the vertical distance between, landings. Cages are also required on ladders less than 20 feet in length where the ladder is located at an elevated platform that does not provide adequate fall protection. Consideration of cage protection for these applications should be made in the design process for each particular case. Ladder safety devices may be used in lieu of the required cage protection. 3.8 Ladder assemblies shall be coated after fabrication in accordance with the design drawings and specifications governing the project. 3.8.1 Galvanizing (when required) shall be done after fabrication and in accordance with PIP STS05120. 3.9 Erection of ladders shall comply with PIP S7S05130.
