Working at heights involves risks. To prevent accidents and comply with occupational health and safety regulations, it is essential to regularly inspect and maintain ladders, stairs, and scaffolding. A professional inspection according to the NEN 2484 standard ensures that your climbing equipment is safe and reliable.
Why inspect and maintain?
Unsafe or poorly maintained climbing equipment can lead to serious accidents. Regular inspections help ensure that your equipment meets legal requirements and extends its lifespan. A professional inspection helps detect and address wear, damage, or defects in a timely manner.
NEN 2484 Inspection: What does it entail?
NEN 2484 is the standard for inspecting portable climbing equipment, such as ladders and stairs. A certified inspector checks your equipment for:
- Stability and sturdiness
- Wear or fractures
- Safety features such as anti-slip surfaces and railings
- Proper markings and instructions
After approval, your equipment receives an inspection sticker and an official certificate, proving compliance with occupational health and safety regulations.
Maintenance and risk management
In addition to inspections, regular maintenance is essential. Check your ladders and stairs for:
- Damaged rungs or steps
- Worn-out rubber feet
- Loose or rusted connections
Scaffolding requires extra attention, including inspections of couplings, railings, and platforms. A periodic risk assessment (RI&E) helps identify potential hazards and implement preventive measures.
Have your climbing equipment inspected by a professional
Avoid unnecessary risks and ensure that your staff can work safely. Have your ladders, stairs, and scaffolding inspected by a certified inspector and comply with legal requirements. Request a quote for expert advice and professional inspections of your climbing equipment.
