a risk evaluation with considera-
tion to the national regulations
of use must be carried out.
The ladder must be set up in the
correct set-up position, i.e. at the
correct installation angle for lean-
ing ladders (inclination angle
approx. 1:4).
Locking devices, when
applied, must be fully
secured before use.
A leaning ladder
should be leaned
against a level, solid
surface and be secured before
use i.e. by securing the leaning
ladder and by using a suitable
piece of equipment to secure its
stability.
The ladder must be
placed on a level,
horizontal, immovable
surface.
The ladder may never be brought
into a new position from above.
When the ladder is positioned
you must be aware of the risk of
a collision i.e. with pedestrians,
vehicles or doors. Lock all doors
and windows in the area around
the ladder where you are going

the ladder. You should
always stand steadily with both
feet on the same step, keeping
your body's core (navel) between
