Fixed Ladder and Walkway Testing and Inspection
Fixed Ladders
Fixed Ladders provide an efficient, reliable means of access when working at height, but they must be compliant with current PUWER regulations. We also work to the following British Standards;
BS 4211:2005+A1:2008.
BS 5395-3.1985
BS EN 14122
This includes that access ladders require compliance testing every 12 months. Fixed ladders can be found both internally and externally, in a variety of different areas and a wide range of work loads, so it is imperative to have any fixed ladders tested.
Our specialised Roodsafe testing team will inspect the ladders, ensuring the ladders are compliant with current legislation, checking for any hazards for example damage or corrosion to the rungs, welds or fixings. The team will also inspect and test all fixings, making sure that they are all secure and compliant. Once the team have deemed the ladder to have passed the test and inspection, they will tag the ladder with a Roodsafe Ladder Inspection Tag, giving any user a clear view that the ladder has passed and when the next inspection is due.
Access walkways offer an easier, more secure means of transport while working at height, especially on roof areas. Walkways can be found in a wide variety of areas, whether it be internal or external. It is vital to have these tested and inspected every 12 months and in accordance with current PUWER regulations. We also test all walkways to the following British standards;
. BS 5395-3:1985
. BS 4592:2006
Our specialised Roodsafe testing team will inspect the walkways, ensuring that all regulations are adhered to, whilst also checking for any hazards, damage or corrosion to the walkway and fixings. The team will also inspect and test all fixings, making sure that they are all secure and compliant. Once the team have deemed the walkway to have passed the test and inspection, they will tag the ladder with a Roodsafe Walkway Inspection Tag, giving any user a clear view that the ladder has passed and when the next inspection is due.
