When is a caged ladder required versus a standard fixed ladder?
AS 1657 requires fall protection on fixed ladders above 6 metres. This can be provided by a cage (hooped enclosure), a vertical life line, or a combination. Caged ladders are the most common solution as they provide passive protection without requiring harness equipment.
Can roof access ladders be secured to prevent unauthorised access?
Yes. We offer lockable ladder guards, retractable bottom sections, and removable lower rung systems that prevent unauthorised access while allowing quick deployment for authorised personnel.
Do roof access ladders need annual certification?
Yes. Fixed access ladders should be inspected annually as part of your height safety compliance programme. Inspections cover structural integrity, fixing points, rungs, cages, and any integrated fall protection devices.
