Site Review & Asset Identification
We start by reviewing your workplace, tasks performed at height, and how portable ladders are used across the site. This includes identifying all ladders in service, such as step ladders, extension ladders, and platform ladders. Usage frequency, load, storage conditions, and environmental factors such as moisture, chemicals, or impact risk are considered to ensure inspections reflect real operational use and Australian Standards.
2
Detailed Ladder Inspection
Each ladder is visually and physically inspected to assess structural integrity and safety. Stiles, rungs, steps, feet, locking mechanisms, hinges, labels, and overall condition are checked for damage, wear, corrosion, or modification. Ladders that pass inspection are confirmed as fit for use, while any unsafe ladders are clearly identified and removed from service to prevent falls or equipment failure.
3
Reporting & Compliance Documentation
Following inspection, we provide detailed records for all inspected items, including pass/fail results, identified defects, and corrective recommendations where required. All documentation is maintained in line with Australian Standards and WHS obligations, supporting audits, insurance requirements, and regulatory inspections.
4
Ongoing Compliance & Support
As part of our full-cycle HSE and compliance approach, we manage ongoing ladder inspection schedules and integrate them into your broader safety program. We work around operational needs, including after-hours or low-disruption inspections, and provide guidance on ladder selection, safe use, storage, and corrective actions to ensure portable ladders on site remain safe, compliant, and reliable.
