Published by SALUS

Mine safety regulations and codes regarding ladders typically cover design, inspection, and safe use to prevent injuries.

Key aspects include:

  • Pre-use inspections: Ladders should be inspected before each use for defects such as loose or missing rungs, damaged rails, corrosion, and proper functioning of locking devices.
  • Proper ladder selection: Choosing the right type and size of ladder for the task, ensuring it is CSA approved and has the appropriate load rating.
  • Safe ladder placement: Setting up ladders on firm, level ground, away from doorways or high-traffic areas, and at the correct angle (1 foot out for every 4 feet of height).
  • Climbing safety: Maintaining three-point contact (two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand) while climbing, facing the ladder, and not carrying tools or materials.
  • Ladder maintenance: Regularly cleaning and maintaining ladders, replacing worn ropes, and lubricating moving parts.
  • Defective ladder removal: Tagging and removing defective ladders from service, and destroying those that cannot be safely repaired.
