• Regular inspection by a qualified person is required for commercial use.
• The contractor has to ensure that ladders are inspected recurrently for
proper condition (visual and functional inspection).
For this purpose, the type, scope and time periods of the required
inspections must be determined.
• The time intervals for the inspection will conform to the operating
conditions, in particular the frequency of use and demands during use
as well as the frequency and severity of established defects during the
preceding inspections.
• The contractor also has to ensure that defective ladders are removed from
use and stored in such a way that further use is not possible until proper
maintenance or disposal takes place.
