Disclaimer: OSHA has several regulations around both portable and fixed ladders. The employer must ensure that ladder usage meets the material requirements, situation-appropriate, and equipment maintenance expectations under standards 1926.1053, 1910.22(d), 1910.23, and 1910.145 - along with other relevant standards. Ladders are to be used only for the purposes for which they were designed, must be inspected before use, and be regularly checked for defects and damage - and removed from service as necessary. This module does not, and is not intended to, replace OSHA standards or other ladder safety requirements. The content of this training is for general informational purposes only.
