Portable Ladder Ratings and Types:
Manufactured ladders are rated to the duty or service to which they will be put and the working load under
will be used in a standard inclined position. The following table provides the different grades of ladders an
are rated for:
Table 2. In-Line Load Ratings & Duty Type
(Wooden and Metal Ladders)
Duty Rating & Type Working Load (pounds)
Extra Heavy Duty – Type IA 300 lb
Heavy Duty – Type I 250 lb
Medium Duty – Type II 225lb
Light Duty – Type III 200lb

See OSHA Reference 29 CFR 1910 Subpart D - Walking-Working Surfaces


Ladder Inspection and Use - Recommended Practice
Electrical Work
• Metal ladders (e.g. aluminium) should NEVER be used for electrical work, or in close proximity to overhe
lines and/or electrical circuits;
• Wooden ladders with metal reinforcing rods shall NOT be used for electrical work, due to the danger of i
electrical contact;
• Wooden ladders or fibreglass ladders are acceptable for using near or during electrical work, however th
completely dry;
• Wooden ladders that are damp or wet can conduct electricity and should NOT be used when working on
around electrical equipment or electrical power sources
Ladder Inspection and Use - Recommended Practice
Ladder Inspections
• Ladders should be inspected before each use for loose or damaged rungs, steps, rails or braces and to
obvious signs of damage or deterioration. If they can be moved by hand, they are too loose;
• Check the ladder rungs to be sure that they are free of any slippery material;
Ladder Inspection and Use - Recommended Practice
Suggested Inspection Criteria
• Ensure that stepladder spreaders are sturdy, tight and can be properly locked in place;
• Check all ladder hardware, nuts, bolts, spreaders, etc. for tightness and good repair with particular atten
mechanisms;
• Check pulleys on extension ladders for good condition and proper lubrication. If pulleys are damaged, th
replaced;
• Check ropes on extension ladders and replace any frayed or worn ropes;
• Check for damaged or excessive wear on the non-slip feet;
• Check ladders for twisted or distorted rails. Do not attempt to straighten, or allow to remain in use, any b
metal ladder;
• In wooden ladders, check for rot, decay, or warped rails;
• Check for missing identification and/or warning labels; (minimum labels: load rating and manufacturer, a
extention ladder)
• Where damage to or deterioration of any ladder is encountered, a qualified person must determine whet
ladder can still be used;
• Ladders cannot be safely repaired. If the damage is significant enough to affect the safety of the unit, the
be immediately removed from service, destroyed, and replaced as soon as possible;
• Ladders should also be thoroughly examined/inspected once every three (3) months and a record of tho
should be kept on file for future reference
Ladder Inspection and Use - Recommended Practice

Ladder Maintenance
• The feet of ladders, especially straight or extension ladders, should be equipped with slip-resistant surfa
• Untreated wooden ladders should be stored in dry areas to prevent moisture or water absorption;
• Wooden ladders must not be painted, since this may hide serious defects that may develop. A wood pre
clear finish coating (e.g. varnish) should be used to protect the ladder;
• Avoid painting the rungs/steps with anything, even clear coatings, unless a non-slip material has been a
prevent slipping;
• Ladders constructed from fibreglass should be cleaned and sprayed lightly with a clear or pigmented lac
wax once every three (3) months to reduce deterioration (weathering);
• When transported on a vehicle, ladders should be properly supported and secured using proper “tie dow
Avoid using rubber “bungy cords” unless the travel distance is short;
Scaffolding Inspections and Fall Protection
Construction
1. Does each scaffold and scaffold component  Y   N   N/A   ?

support (without failure) its own weight and
at least 4 times the maximum intended load?
[29 CFR 1926.451(a)(1)]

Note: The stall load of any scaffold hoist


must not exceed 3 times its rated load
[29 CFR 1926.451(a)(5)]. Appendix A of
the OSHA regulations gives directions for
constructing scaffolds.

2. Are all working levels on scaffolds fully  Y   N   N/A   ?


planked or decked between the front uprights ? 
and the guardrail supports?
[29 CFR 1926.451(b)(1)]

3. Are scaffold platform spaces 1inch or less  Y   N   N/A   ?


between adjacent units and the uprights? ? 
[29 CFR 1926.451(b)(1)(i)]

Note: Spaces up to 9 1/2 inches wide are


permitted around uprights. If platforms are
used only as walkways or during erecting or
dismantling, the employer may establish
the space between planking as necessary to
provide safe working conditions.

4. Are all scaffold platforms at least  Y   N   N/A   ?


18 inches wide? ? 
[29 CFR 1926.451(b)(2)]

Note: Scaffold platforms less than


18 inches wide are permitted if wider
platforms are not possible. However,
students and employees who use these
platforms must be protected by

guardrails or personal fall arrest


systems.

5. Is the distance between the front edge of  Y   N   N/A   ?


the scaffold platform and the face of the ? 

work 14 inches or less, unless guardrail


systems are put along the front edge, or
personal fall arrest systems are used?
[29 CFR 1926.451(b)(3)]

Note: Exceptions are permitted under


special situations. Consult the OSHA
regulations for details. The maximum
distance from the face for plastering and
lathing operations is 18 inches.

6. Does the end of each scaffold platform  Y   N   N/A   ?


extend over the centerline of its support at ? 
least 6 inches unless cleated or otherwise
restrained by hooks or equivalent means?
[29 CFR 1926.451(b)(4)]

7. If the scaffold platform is 10 feet or less in  Y   N   N/A   ?


length, does the end of the scaffold platform ? 
extend 12 inches or less over its support?
[29 CFR 1926.451(b)(5)(i)]

Note: The end of the scaffold platform may


extend more than 12 inches over its support
if the platform is designed and installed so
that the cantilevered portion of the platform
can support workers or materials without
tipping, or a guardrail blocks worker access
to the cantilevered end.

8. On scaffolds where planks are abutted to form  Y   N   N/A   ?



 Y   N   N/A   ?
a long platform, does each plank end rest on ? 
a separate support surface?
[29 CFR 1926.451(b)(6)]

Note: Common support members, such as


"T" sections, may be used to support abutting
planks. Hook-on platforms designed to rest
on common supports may also be used.

9. On scaffolds where platforms overlap to  Y   N   N/A   ?


form a long platform, does the overlap ? 
occur over supports? Is the overlap at
least 12 inches unless the platform is
nailed together or otherwise restrained
to prevent movement?
[29 CFR 1926.451(b)(7)]

10. At points of a scaffold where the platform  Y   N   N/A   ?


changes direction, is this procedure followed? ? 
[29 CFR 1926.451(b)(8)]

Step 1: Lay the platform that rests on a


bearer at an angle other than a right angle.

Step 2: Lay the platform that rests at


right angles over the same bearer, on
top of the first platform.

11. Is it prohibited to cover wood platforms  Y   N   N/A   ?


on scaffolds with opaque finishes? ? 
[29 CFR 1926.451(b)(9)]

Note: Platform edges may be covered or


marked for identification. Wood platforms
may be coated periodically with wood
preservatives, fire-retardant finishes,
and slip-resistant finishes; however, the
coating may not obscure the top or
bottom wood surfaces.
12. Do scaffold components from different  Y   N   N/A   ?
manufacturers fit together without force and ? 
maintain the scaffold's structural integrity?
[29 CFR 1926.451(b)(10)]

13. Are scaffold components from different  Y   N   N/A   ?


manufacturers modified ONLY if a ? 
competent person determines that the
scaffold made of the 'mixed' parts is
structurally sound?
[29 CFR 1926.451(b)(10)]

14. Are scaffold components made of dissimilar  Y   N   N/A   ?


metals used together ONLY if a competent ? 
person has determined that galvanic action
will not reduce the strength of any
component to an unacceptable level?
[29 CFR 1926.451(b)(11)]

Criteria for Supported Scaffolds


15. Are supported scaffolds with a height to  Y   N   N/A   ?
base width ratio of more than 4 to 1 ?

the 4 to 1 height. Repeat vertically at
locations of horizontal members every
20 feet or less thereafter for scaffolds
3 feet wide or less, and every 26 feet or
less thereafter for scaffolds greater than
3 feet wide. Place the top guy, tie, or
brace of completed scaffolds no further
than the 4 to 1 height from the top. Install
guys, ties, and braces at each end of
the scaffold and at horizontal intervals

Area Element Electrical Equip. Inspection

Each cord set, attachment cap, plug and receptacle of cord sets, and any
equipment connected by cord and plug, except cord sets and receptacles which
are fixed and not exposed to damage, shall be visually inspected before each
day's use for external defects, such as deformed or missing pins or insulation
damage, and for indications of possible internal damage.
Equipment found damaged or defective shall not be used until repaired.
Repairs of electrical cords on portable double insulated equipment such as
electrical drills is not permitted except by replacement of the cord as per
manufacturer's specifications
Free from grease, oil or other substances which may degrade outer coverings
( follow manufacturer's recommendations)
Flexible cords shall be used only in continuous lengths without splice or tap. Hard
service flexible cords No. 12 or larger may be repaired if spliced so that the splice
retains the insulation, outer sheath properties, and usage characteristics of the
cord being spliced.

This provision precludes the repair of flexible cords smaller than No.12 (the
higher the number, the smaller the cord). Since hand power tools typically have
flexible power cords smaller than No.12, those cords are not permitted to be
spliced. Heavier cords -- those No. 12 or larger (that is, with a lower gauge
number), may be repaired with a molded or vulcanized splice as long as the
repair returns the cord to at least the equivalent of its original specifications.
Repairs are made by qualified personnel
Cords and electrical tools stored properly, to protect from potential UV,excessive
heat, contact and strain damage.
Extension cords not used for permanent wiring
Extension cords proper guage for load and length
Operator understands guage and load requirement

Damaged cord(s) are tagged out and not used until repaired by a qualified person
