This ladder inspection checklist template is free to use and makes the job of performing and organising ladder inspections quick, easy and safe.

Falling from heights is one of the main causes of injury and death across the injuries, and many of these falls occur from ladders. Ladders are one the most commonly used forms of equipment or 'infrastructure' on site and so are often overlooked as an important safety inspection checklist item.

Ladder inspections and oversight should form an important part of your inspection efforts, and they shouldn't be cumbersome or difficult.

Using a smart ladder inspection checklist like you see here, your engineers, foremen and safety teams can perform quick and accurate ladder inspections directly on site with a mobile or tablet.

This results in an increased number of inspections, and better safety outcomes. In addition, tracking and analysing your ladder inspections is also easier with this template. All of your inspections can be immediately converted into a ladder register, and you can analyse the number and results of your inspections on aggregate with automated analytics.

Improving your safety processes is incredibly important for your company, projects and of course for your workers. While it may be easy for workers to be nonchalant about the dangers of a ladder or simply keep using a faulty one, it's important that regular inspections are encouraged and done.

This ladder inspection checklist is quick and easy to use, and covers everything you need to know about your ladders in order for work to move forward safely:

• Checklist questions and comments related to the condition of the ladder (wear, distortion, bent and missing rungs etc.)
• Checklist question about storage and authorised use
• Checklist question and comments about issues with associated ladder equipment
• Digital signoff for complete record keeping
