Things You Should Know About Scaffold Step Ladder

Time:2017/10/25

When using a ladder at a factory or home, there are several safety suggestions:

 


1. Choose the right ladder: the height of the ladder must be sufficient to work in A comfortable position, not at the top of the A type ladder. Generally speaking, the quality of the aluminum ladder is light and the quality of the material is stable, which is a better choice, but if some jobs are susceptible to electric hazard, the dry wooden ladder is a better choice.

 


2. Pre-use check: check whether the ladder, pedals are deformed, damaged, whether the bolts are loose, whether the fixed rod of the folding ladder can be fixed effectively, and whether the anti-slip mat is off, etc. Any damage should be repaired or updated immediately. The wooden ladder does not recommend lacquer painting because the paint will cover up some defects, but it can be painted with clear lacquer.

 


3. Use personal protective gear: wear a seat belt and hang on a strong structure when you are more than 2 meters high. Have more slippery shoes.

 


4. The ladder must be kept on a flat, solid ground. When placed on the passageway, the fence should be marked. After the door is placed, the door must be locked apart from the fence, so as to avoid the sudden opening of the collision. The fixed pull rod of A ladder must be fixed firmly, and the inclination of the straight ladder must not be too oblique (OHSA recommends that the width of the bottom width is 1:4 and the distance of the height is 1:4) and be fixed to the solid structure.

5. Use of scaffolding ladders: try to face the ladder when up and down the ladder, keeping the three - point contact to keep the balance. Place the tool in the tool bag or use the rope hoisting. Avoid stretching your body to touch the hard-to-reach position, move your position to work, try to avoid a foot on a ladder, and step on a nearby item. A type ladder shall not be used on the highest order when used, and do not ascend the first two orders when using the straight ladder.

 


6. Homework: if you use a ladder, you should have another person to support it. You should wear a hard hat when you work, so as not to drop the items and tools above.

 


7. The handling of the ladder: in the corridor or corner, when you slow down and a long ladder when handling, needs to have a man leading, avoid collision pedestrians, and should be avoided in the collision in the factory facilities, such as machine equipment, pipeline, fire control system, etc.

 


8. Storage of ladders: when A ladder is stored, it should be kept upright while the escalator is stored horizontally. Wooden ladders should be protected against moisture, sun and moth.
