PSU OPP Safety Ladder Inspection Form

This ladder inspection form from Penn State OPP helps teams document routine safety checks for step and extension ladders. Record ladder location, inspection date, and inspector details, then assess key components including steps or rungs, rails, labels, pail shelf, top, spreaders, rung locks, hardware, shoes, rope and pulley, and general condition for rust or corrosion. Capture defects such as loose, cracked, bent, missing, split, or worn parts and note corrective actions. Use this checklist to maintain safe, serviceable equipment and support compliance with organizational safety standards.
