Before starting any works, it is important that you carry out the relevant equipment checks in full before commencement. These checks are as much for your own safety as they are for the company’s legal health and safety obligations.
If you intend to use any form of ladder or hop/step up, you should select the ‘Tick’ option and complete the following questionnaire. If you do not need to use any of these, then you should select the ‘Cross’ option and proceed to complete your details and date in the following boxes. |
|
Enter your name and click the Blue Tick
|
|
Print your name and sign, then click the Blue Tick
|
|
Enter the Date and Time, then click the Blue Tick

|
If you are using a ladder/hop up, then we need to know the ID number/details of the item for records purposes. You should first confirm whether these are legible or not by selecting the ‘Tick’ for yes or the ‘Cross’ for no. If they are not, then you need to contact the office for further instructions.
|
|
It is important that these details are recorded correctly (if legible), as should there be any issues/accidents resulting from use of the ladder/hop up, it is important that we can make checks of historical usage and audits of the item, to ascertain its continued fitness for purpose. It may also affect any subsequent liability/insurance claims if any are necessary.

Simply select here the type of ladder that you are using and click the ‘Blue Tick’ to proceed.
|
|

|
If you are using a Step Ladder, then select ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ as to whether it has a platform at the top.

If there is a problem with the platform, then you should detail the issues here and contact the office for further instructions.
