could deteriorate more rapidly (e.g. dampness,
excessive heat, or exposed to the elements).
• Ladders made of or using thermoplastic, thermosetting
plastic and reinforced plastic materials should be
stored out of direct sunlight.
• Store the ladder in a position which helps it to remain
straight (e.g. hung by the stiles on proper ladder
brackets or laid on a flat clutter free surface).
