Ladder Safety
Ensure ladders are set at the correct angle. The gap
between the foot of the ladder and the wall should be
one quarter the vertical height the ladder is to reach.
The maximum safe working load is 150KG, the total
weight of the user and tools must not exceed this. 
Never use the steps for work which requires both hands.
Never stand on the top 3 rungs, either use a taller set
or use an access tower.
When moving to a new site, carry the steps with care.
If using a ladder to gain access, always
extend it at least 1m (3ft) above the
height at which you step off.
Never rest a ladder against anything
that might not bear the load –
windows, guttering etc.
For maximum safety, rope the top of
the ladder to the structure you are
scaling and the bottom to stakes
driven into the ground (if this is
not possible, you must have a
helper to foot the ladder).
If using the ladder with a roof
ladder, rope the two together.

One out

For advice on the safety and suitability of this
equipment contact your local HSS Hire Shop.
Keep children, animals and bystanders away from
the work area.
Never use this equipment if you are ill, feeling
tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
This equipment should only be used by a
competent person who has read and understood
these instructions.
Never let more than one person onto the
equipment at any one time.
Wear sensible clothing and
stout, comfortable footwear
offering good grip. If necessary, wear goggles, gloves
and hard hat.
Don’t attempt to use access equipment unless you
feel comfortable working at heights.
Never use access equipment unless there is
someone within ear-shot to summon help, in the
event of accident.
Never carry equipment while climbing unless you
can do so leaving your hands free, by carrying the
equipment in a shoulder bag. Climb first then haul the
equipment up after you on a rope.
Never use access equipment near over-head or wall
mounted power cables and similar hazards.
Check the equipment’s condition before use. If it
shows signs of damage or excessive wear – notably to
ladder feet, rungs and locking devices – return it to your
local HSS Hire Shop immediately.
Never use the equipment in very windy or blustery
conditions.
Note that this equipment is designed to provide
access for light maintenance work.
Keep your feet in the middle of the rungs/steps
and climb gripping the side firmly, with
both hands.
Always climb on the outer face, never on
the underside.
Never lean too far to one side to reach. move the
equipment as necessary.
Never do anything that involves applying a lot of
force. The equipment could topple over.
Always set up the equipment on a firm, level, non-
slip surface. On soft ground, stand the equipment on
boards to stop it sinking in.
GETTING STARTED
GENERAL SAFETY
Never use chairs, boxes and so on to gain extra
height.
Unlock the hinges. Push in and twist the red
locking buttons on some models, on others push
in the metal catch on each hinge. Fold out and
arrange the ladder sections into the required
configuration (see illustration).
The hinges automatically lock at angles of 0, 45 105
and 180 degrees. But check that they are locked and
ridged before use.
If using as a work platform, ensure the board rests
centrally on the ladder rungs.
