Ladder Inspection Ireland — Workplace Ladder Safety Checks
Why Choose Procheck for Ladder Inspection?
All Ladder Types Inspected
Yes. Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007, employers must ensure all work equipment — including ladders — gets regular inspection by a competent person. Therefore, all businesses that use ladders in the workplace need to arrange regular inspections. Read the full legal breakdown here.
It depends on how frequently the ladder is used and the environment it operates in. However, most workplace ladders need a formal inspection at least every six months. High-use or outdoor ladders may need more frequent checks. Find out more about inspection frequency.
A GA3 certificate confirms that a ladder passes formal inspection and meets Irish safety standards. Furthermore, holding a valid GA3 certificate demonstrates compliance with the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act and the relevant Irish regulations. Procheck issues GA3 certificates as part of every ladder inspection. Read more about GA3 certification.
If an accident occurs and your ladders lack a current inspection certificate, your insurer can refuse to pay out on a claim. In addition, the HSA can issue notices and pursue prosecution against employers who fail to maintain safe work equipment. Read more about the consequences of non-compliance.
