Falls and accidents while accessing heights can become a common occurrence without the right safety equipment. Thus, a major part of ladder safety equipment includes all the necessary gears that help in reducing the risk of falls from ladders even while accessing for longer hours. Ladder safety devices are often considered to be a support system that limits or prevents the drop of the individual accessing them. Ladder safety kits may include a tag holder, lanyards, sliding attachments, or even friction brakes. Here are some ladder safety equipment that are popularly used.
Scaff Tag Holder for visual indication
Scaff Tag Holder is found on all ladders to ensure that individuals accessing them can confirm the condition of the scaffold while accessing the ladders. This tag holder acts as a visual indicator of all the scaffolding structures of the ladder. This ensures that individuals accessing it are aware of vital information related to the safety and the inspection status of the scaffolds. Scaff Tag Holder is available in a variety of designs that include Standard Scaffolding Tags, Green Scaffolding Tags, Yellow Scaffolding Tags, and Red Scaffolding Tags, amongst others. Standard Tags follow a standardised color-coding system to indicate the safety of the scaffolds. The Green tags indicate that the ladders are safe to use and that the construction and condition are in compliance with safety standards. Yellow Tags are put on to indicate concerns with regard to safety and maintenance. This allows those accessing it to be cautious and use preventive measures while accessing the ladders. Yellow Scaffolding Tags contain three-fold information that includes the exact hazard identified, the preventive measures to be taken to avoid accidents, and the name of the individuals who are authorised to use the tag.
Ladder Tag Holder for regulation compliance
Ladder Tag holder is indicative of the safety management system and helps facilities keep track of the inspections and the records after each inspection. It also enables individuals to access the ladders to avoid accidents and injuries from such falls. Most importantly, these ladders are essential for procedural regulation compliance. Safety regulations often include checking the ladders for existing faults, damages, and wear and tear. This helps to determine the condition of the ladder before it can be used by any authorised user. The design of this tag should be robust and highly visible to ensure that the user pays adequate heed to it before accessing the ladder. A ladder tag holder can be permanently attached to a ladder for regular and visible ladder checks routinely.
Ladder Levers for uneven platforms
A ladder leveller is considered to be as essential as a tag. This device is essential for ensuring safe access to slanting surfaces, stairways, and any uneven pavements. This device is affixed to the outer part of the ladders and helps to adjust and balance the ladder based on the ground elevations. Ladder levellers enable hands-free stabilisation and are often combined with mounting hardware. This device comes with instructions for easy installation and usage.
