Safety First - Inspect Ladders before use - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Remind employees and operators to check ladders for damage or defects before using them. Inspections typically include checking for cracks, loose rungs, stability, proper locking mechanisms, and any wear or corrosion. Regular ladder inspections help prevent falls, injuries, and accidents, ensuring that ladders are safe to use.

These signs are particularly important in construction sites, warehouses, factories, maintenance areas, offices, and any workplace where ladders are regularly used. Placing the sign near ladder storage areas, tool rooms, or access points ensures that staff see the reminder before using the ladder, reinforcing a culture of safety.

In addition to protecting employees, the sign supports health and safety compliance. Regular ladder checks reduce the risk of accidents, downtime, and potential liability, while promoting proactive safety behaviour among staff.

For maximum effectiveness, the sign should be prominently displayed at ladder storage areas, near access points, or tool rooms where it is clearly visible to anyone about to use a ladder. Clear, bold wording ensures that the inspection message is understood and followed, maintaining a safer workplace.
