Ladder Safety Inspection Form and Huddle Sheet

Use this inspection form and sample ladder safety policy to help develop and enforce an essential component of any facility's fall protection policy.

Coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, many facilities are going back to the basics to rebuild foundational programs, and fall protection is one of them. A ladder safety policy is an important component of any fall protection policy, since many falls and injuries occur when workers use ladders or extension ladders that are damaged or unsafe.

This tool helps users evaluate the condition of their facility’s ladders by checking for broken or worn parts, missing or unreadable labels and other common deficiencies. It also includes a sample ladder safety policy that outlines best practices for general ladder safety and specific rules for different types of ladders.
