Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information

Installation Notes Inspect the ladder before use. Install on a firm, level surface with the correct inclination and adequate overlap where applicable. Secure the ladder against slipping, displacement, or falling, and maintain safe clearance from electrical hazards and vessel openings.
Maintenance Tips Clean salt, paint, oil, and welding residue regularly. Inspect rungs, rails, feet, hooks, welds, fasteners, and locking devices for damage or corrosion. Remove defective ladders from service and do not modify or repair them without manufacturer approval.
Safety Notes Use only within the manufacturer's rated height and load limits. Maintain three-point contact while climbing, keep access areas clear, and do not use damaged or unsecured ladders. Follow shipyard permit-to-work, fall-protection, and working-at-height procedures.
