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.
• The protruding ladder section at the top
of the freestanding ladder must not be
stepped on. This section is only meant to
lean against.
• Never move the stepladder from the top.
• 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.

another level.
• Do not stand on the top three steps of a
lean-to ladder.
• Do not stand on the top two steps of a
stepladder without a platform and
handrail.
• Stepladders use to access a higher level
must extend at least 1 metre past the
stepping off point.
• Stepladders must only be used for light,
short-duration work.

playing on the stepladder.

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
