AS 1892.5:2020 pdf download.Portable ladders Part 5: Selection, safe use and care.

(a) Slope, strength and friction of the supporting surface.

(b)Height and reach required

(c) Environmental conditions.

Work areas, e.g. adequate space available to handle and set up the ladder. Manual handling.

(e) Potential for contact with persons or objects within the swing or fall radius of the ladder. A device to assist or more than

one person may be needed to handle and set up the ladder. The ladder should remain under the control of the person or persons

handling the ladder at all times.

When a ladder is being raised, lowered or carried, encroachment of any exclusion zones, such as distance to powerlines, and contact with any person or object in the vicinity, should be avoided.

2.2.2 Care during transport

Where a ladder is being transported by a vehicle, including push carts or trolleys, the ladder should he supported to avoid

sagging. Overhang of the ladder beyond supporting points should be limited. Ladder supports should be made of material that will

not damage the ladder and has enough friction to prevent sliding, e.g. wood or rubber-covered metal. The ladder should be securely fastened to the supports to minimize chafing and the effects of road shock.
