Ladder inspection checklist

According to HSE (Health and Safety Executive), you must check the following when inspecting a ladder:

1. Stiles: Make sure the stiles (also known as the side rails) are not bent or damaged in any way, or else the ladder could collapse beneath you.
   
   
2. Feet: Check to see if they are missing, worn, or damaged. Make sure the anti-slip surfaces are also undamaged. If so, the ladder could slip as you use it.
   
   
3. Rungs: Are they bent? Worn? Missing? Loose? If so, you could fall while using the ladder. More...
