For some, an attic is wasted space simply because it’s a hassle to get to. Closets and trunks are stuffed, while the loft – which could potentially provide plenty of handy storage – remains empty. But your loft doesn’t have to be a mystery if you have the right ladder to reach it.The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets those guidelines, which include manufacturing standards like rung spacing, and user requirements like ladder placement. Working at heights is dangerous. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 161 people died from work-related ladder falls in 2020, with 22,710 injuries. Roofing carries one of the highest risks. That’s why Mike Larsen, owner of Larsen Roofing, takes ladder safety so seriously. faqaccordion article {padding-top: 0!important;font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.2em; padding-left: 0.7em; padding-right: 0.7em;} Just because a ladder was manufactured to high safety standards doesn’t let you off the hook.

Dolle Hobby Wooden Loft Ladder: The best overall loft ladder In occupied buildings or public spaces with access to the scaffold at several levels fencing should be used to close off all access opportunities. For example, in buildings with public access balconies that abut scaffolding, this can mean fencing each level for the full length of the balcony (subject to this not interfering with fire escape arrangements). At ground level the full length of the scaffold may need to be fenced. This can be particularly important across ground level sway (longitudinal) bracing. In addition, there should be no projecting first lift transoms or ledgers that may aid climbing; and the use of scaffold fans, or sheeting of lifts can also help deter opportunistic access.

In roofing, ladders are an essential tool of the trade,” Larsen says. “I always put a priority on the safety of my crews, so it is important that they follow proper guidelines.” They must make each rung unusable – ie no more than 50mm of rung should be exposed when the guard is pushed as far sideways as possible.
