Before each use or every shift, check steps for cracks, flexing, worn treads, loose fasteners, or rust. Tag broken ladders “Do Not Use.”

2. Get the right replacement:
Match dimensions, materials, hole spacing, and load class. Only use certified parts—our step for ladder kits are OSHA/ANSI tested.

3. Install with care:

• Align new steps perfectly
• Use correct fasteners and torque evenly
• Test with gradual weight before use

4. Train team members:
Everyone must know safe use and inspection rules. We provide expert, easy-to-understand guides and training for your workers.
