Parts of a Portable Ladder
Keep track of all current portable ladders on the rig to facilitate thorough and accurate inspections and maintenance. The use may be for limited access or for more regular use during the course of the day.
Location/Use
Write the location and general use of each portable ladder on the rig. Portable ladders should be stored close to the point of use if possible. The use may be for limited access or for more regular use during the course of the day. Check that ladders are stored by hanging them up or placing them in a designated rack where they will not be damaged by other rig activities. Damaged ladders must be removed from service and replaced.
