Ladder and Stepladder Inspection Checklist

This ladder and stepladder inspection checklist helps caretaking and maintenance teams assess the safety and condition of portable access equipment. It guides users to check for common defects including broken or worn steps, cracked or twisted stiles, loose or missing rungs, bent hinges, misaligned extension guides, faulty or jammed pulleys, locks that do not seat correctly, worn or missing cords, damaged non-slip feet, corrosion, sharp edges, and signs of instability or wobble. The template includes fields for notes, observations, and photos, plus sign-off with name and completion date, supporting clear record keeping and safer work at height practices across facilities.
