Ladders used within your business should be suitable for the task or activity and have an up to date detailed visual inspection report. The frequency of the inspection should be done in accordance with manufucturer's instructions - depending on the type of work your inspections should be done at least annually, but may be required more often for heavy use or where damage is likely to occur - for example on a construction site.
