4. Combination ladders
Locking devices shall be checked and be
fully secured before use if not operated
automatically.
- When using a combination ladder as an extending ladder, ensure that your feet do not catch in any nylon belts that
EN
are present.
- Never slide out the upper ladder of a 3 section ladder in the A-position with the red rung (or the 4th rung from the top)
further than the hinge point (figure 1).
- Never climb a 3-section ladder in the A-position further than the hinge point (figure 1).
5. Extending ladders or rope operated ladders
Locking devices shall be checked and be
fully secured before use if not operated
automatically.
- The loose end of the rope shall be tied to the ladder (only if necessary due to design of ladder).
- By preference, slide an extending ladder out against a wall up to the required height.
- Ensure for multi-section ladders that the hooks properly grip onto or under (rope-operated ladders) the rungs.
- Make sure that it is only possible to climb the ladder from the extended side (except for rope-operated ladders).
- Make sure that the correct sequence is followed when sliding out the ladder: unlock the upper section of the ladder,
slide it out to the required height and then lock it into place. If the ladder has 3 sections, repeat this procedure with the
middle section.
- Always first slide in the middle section of the ladder (unlock, slide in, lock) and then the upper section of the
ladder (unlock, slide in, lock).
6. Mobile ladders with platform
Do not step off the side of the mobile
platform ladder onto another surface.
Use the ladder with restraint devices
engaged only (only if necessary due to
design of ladder).
Use only with stabilizer (if part of the
ladder).
Use only with activated brakes (if part of
the ladder).
