Document Summary

This document outlines safe work procedures for using safety steps, with a focus on proper selection, inspection, and use. Industrial-grade ladders and platforms are required in workplaces; domestic equipment is prohibited. Safety steps are suitable for light tasks, while platform ladders should be used for complex or long-duration tasks. Non-conductive equipment must be selected for electrical work to prevent electric shock.

Inspection involves checking for damage to stiles, steps, and ladder feet, ensuring all components are in good condition and free from oil or grease. Setup and use emphasize placing steps on firm, clean, level surfaces, maintaining three points of contact while climbing, and avoiding overreaching or leaning. Footwear should have a non-slip sole, and braces or legs must be fully secured. Conductive steps are prohibited for live electrical work. Only properly maintained and undamaged safety steps are to be used.
