3 BACKGROUND Portable ladders are used in a wide variety of settings at Northeastern Catholic District School Board (NCDSB) such as light changing, ceiling work, cabling, etc. Unsafe use of portable ladders can result in serious injuries and fatalities from falls or, in the case of metal ladders, electric shock. Portable ladders must be maintained in good condition at all times, and inspected before each use. Training is also an important aspect of portable ladder safety and accident prevention. It is important to use the correct equipment for the job. In many cases, portable work platforms are preferable to ladders. LADDER SAFETY PROGRAM This program applies to all workers and their Principals/Supervisors and Managers who in their course of work may use ladders and or fixed access structures. Note: In this program, worker includes faculty, staff, students and visitors. All employees who use ladders during the course of work must be familiar with this program. Ladder users must be able to recognize ladder hazards and be aware of safe practices in setting up, storing, moving and working from ladders to prevent injuries from occurring. Ladders are generally not work platforms. The only time they are permitted to be used as work positioning devices is when it is not possible to use other methods. Ladders are permitted for short duration work which is defined as 30 minutes or less. If the work will take longer, then an alternate method of access must be used. OBJECTIVE To protect workers from hazards related to use, handling and storing portable ladders. Workers will be trained on the safe use, handling and storing of portable ladders. To promote the inspection, safe use, and maintenance of portable ladders and fixed access structures. APPLICABLE LEGISLATION AND RELEVANT STANDARDS: O.

12 APPENDIX C GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 1. Introduction: Ladders are commonly used to reach or to gain access to higher areas/levels and sometimes from which to perform work. There are a number of hazards associated with ladder use that can cause accidents resulting in serious injuries. These potential injuries include: i. Falling from ladders (especially when getting on/off or contact with electricity) ii. Struck by objects or by ladder (falling ladder or when carrying ladders) iii. Tripping over ladders iv. Muscle strain from carrying heavy ladders Causes of ladder accidents include: i. Ladder not secured in place ii. Slippery surfaces (feet, rungs, footwear) iii. Improper angle iv. Improper set-up (not spreading ladder legs and spreader bars) v. Poor grip vi. Unsafe position on ladder (reaching, climbing too high) vii. Defective/damaged ladder viii. Ladder positioned too close to electrical lines ix. Using ladder in high winds 2. Ladder Selection: Working from ladders poses the risk of falling and the decision to use a ladder from which to work should be considered the least desirable method. Safer alternate methods such as performing work from scaffolding or elevating platforms should be considered first. When selecting a ladder: a) Select the most appropriate type of ladder for the task to be performed i. Step ii. Straight iii. Extension iv. Platform (recommended) b) Select the most appropriate material (refer to chart in Appendix D ) c) Select proper ladder height to i. Position yourself so you don t have to stand on the upper rungs. ii. Check for overhead power lines. iii. Only use fiberglass ladder when working on or near electrical conductors. 3. Inspection Ladders prior to use: Before using a ladder, be sure to inspect it to ensure it is in good working condition and safe to use. Inspect ladders for: NCDSB Ladder Safety Program,
13 i. Defects such as broken or missing rungs, cleats, safety feet or rails. ii. Slippery substance on rungs. iii. Stability iv. Inspect for structural integrity Joints should be tight and secure Hardware and fittings should be secure, not damaged or corroded Moveable parts should operate freely Check side rails and rungs for signs of damage, cracks, fraying (fiberglass) Test rung locks (extension ladders) Check ropes, cables and pulleys Ensure wooden ladders are not painted Damaged or defective ladders must be immediately removed from service and not used. Refer to inspection checklist in Appendix A. 4. Set-up: i. Check the work and surrounding areas for hazards such as overhead wires, slippery or uneven surfaces, traffic etc.. ii. Ensure the area at the base and the top of the ladder is free/clear of any obstructions. iii. The base of the ladder should be secured against accidental movement (e.g. non-slip feet, nailing a cleat to the floor or using stabilizers) iv. Ensure the ground/surface is firm and level. v. Tie off or secure the top of all ladders over 3m (10ft) in height. Have another worker hold the ladder until tie-off is complete. The top of the ladder must extend at least one metre (3ft) above the landing or opening. vi. Secure the base when raising a ladder. Never set up when the ladder is already extended. vii. Have someone hold the bottom of the ladder when the top is not tied off. viii. Do not place ladders against flexible or moveable surfaces. ix. When erecting a long, awkward or heavy ladder, two or more persons must be involved. x. Keep metal and wood ladders away from power lines and other live conductors. xi. Only place ladders on firm, level ground. Do not place ladders on top of boxes, unstable surfaces or on scaffolds to gain additional height. xii. Position ladders at proper angle (straight and extension) and secure in position. The recommended angle is 4:1 Position the feet 1 foot back for each 4 feet up. xiii. Open ladder fully (step ladder) and ensure spreader arms are in the locked position. xiv. Step ladders shall never be used in the unfolded position. xv. Ladders shall not be used in high winds. xvi. Take appropriate measures to protect the base of the ladder from any activity that could bang it (e.g. people, doors, vehicles etc.) Have someone guard or block the area while work is being performed on the ladder. Post warning signs or use pylons if necessary. NCDSB Ladder Safety Program,
14 5. Safe Climbing and Use: i. Only one person is permitted on a ladder at the same time. ii. Do not overreach. Move the ladder as needed. iii. Always face the ladder when climbing up or down and keep your hips (centre of gravity) between the rails. iv. Always descend a ladder step by step - never jump off a ladder. v. Maintain 3-point contact with the ladder (1 hand and 2 feet or 2 hands and 1 foot) when climbing or descending ladders. vi. Keep hands free when climbing ladders. Use a tool belt or rope to raise tools. vii. Move ladder as needed. Never walk a ladder while standing on it. viii. Do not stand on or above the 3 rd rung from the top of the ladder. Never climb above the top support point. Do not sit, stand or climb on the top step, pail shelf, braces or back section. ix. Ensure soles of shoes/boots are clean and not slippery. x. Do not use ladders horizontally as substitutes for scaffold platforms, etc. xi. Do not straddle the space between a ladder and another object. xii. Never climb damaged, bent or broken ladders. xiii. Get help when carrying long or heavy ladders. xiv. Be aware of surroundings when carrying ladders. Pay particular attention to overhead obstacles and people around to avoid striking them. xv. Do not use ladders if you tire easily, are subject to fainting spells or are using medicine. 6. Storing and Transporting Ladders: i. Ladders should be supported to prevent sagging. ii. Do not store items on top of ladders. iii. When carrying a ladder: Hold middle side rail and tip front slightly upward. Watch for swing in the tail end Watch for overhead hazards Get help for long ladders (longer than 8 feet) NCDSB Ladder Safety Program,
