USE
• The stepladder must be put up in the
correct position, for example at the
correct angle if using as a lean-to ladder
(tilt angle 1:4) with the steps horizontal.
• Locks, if available, must be fully locked
before use.
• The stepladder must be placed on a
smooth, level and stable base.
• As a lean-to ladder it must lean against a
smooth, stable surface and be fastened
with a stable device before use.
• Never move the stepladder from above.
• When positioning the stepladder take into
consideration the risk of collision, e.g.
with pedestrians, vehicles or doors. Lock
doors (not emergency exits) and windows
in the work area, where possible.
• Identify potential risks in the work area,
such as high-tension cables or exposure to
electrical components.
• The stepladder must stand on its feet and
not rest on a step.
• Do not put the stepladder on slippery surfaces
(for example, ice, shiny surfaces or heavily
soiled surfaces) unless additional measures
are taken to prevent it from slipping.
• Do not exceed the maximum load for the
stepladder.
• Do not overreach. The user must keep the
belt buckle (navel) inside the side rails and
both feet on the same step when working.
• Do not go on the 4 top steps on a standing
ladder with an extension ladder above.
• Do not get off the stepladder at a higher
level without additional safety measures,
for example a suitable device to improve
stability.
• Do not use standalone ladders to get to
another level.

Do not stand on the top two steps of a
stepladder without a platform and handrail.
Do not stand on the top four steps of a

Stepladders use to access a higher level
must extend at least 1 metre past the
stepping off point.
Stepladders must only be used for simple
jobs for short periods.
Do not use the stepladder outdoors in bad
weather, for example in strong wind.
Take precautions to prevent children
playing on the stepladder.
Face the stepladder when climbing up or
down the steps.
Keep a firm grip on the steps when
climbing up or down the stepladder.
Do not use the stepladder as a footbridge.
Wear suitable footwear when climbing on
a stepladder.
Avoid work on stepladders that involves
lateral tensions, for example drilling to the
side in solid material (brick or concrete).
Do not spend a long time on the
stepladder without frequent breaks
(tiredness is a risk factor).
If the stepladder is used as a lean-to
ladder to reach up to a higher level it
must reach up to a least one metre over
the contact point.
Equipment carried up on a stepladder
should be lightweight and easy to handle.
Do not carry or use bulky and/or heavy
objects on the stepladder.
Always keep a firm grip with at least one
hand when working on the stepladder, or
if this is not possible take additional safety
precautions.
Single or multiple joint ladders should be
unfolded/folded when lying on the
ground and not in its use position.
