Use this access equipment inspection checklist to verify the condition and safe operation of ladders, step ladders, hop-ups, and small platforms before use. Record the site and inspector details, then assess each item for visible damage to stiles and treads, integrity of hinges and locking mechanisms, proper extension and lock engagement, condition of feet and stabilizers, and correct tie-in or securing. Confirm the equipment matches manufacturer intent, is suitable for the task, and is safe to use. The checklist supports compliance with access equipment risk assessments and helps standardize pre-use checks across construction and maintenance activities.
