A platform ladder, which can also be defined as a rolling ladder, is an essential piece of equipment in warehouses and distribution centers. From equipment maintenance and upkeep to storage facilities and stock rooms, a platform ladder is the best solution for getting within arms-reach of an elevated task. Rolling ladders can be safely handled and moved into desired positions/locations by one person.

Along with ease of maneuvering, you need to ensure you are OSHA compliant. “All rolling ladders used in general industry settings must comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s regulations for Walking-Working Surfaces and Personal Fall Protection Systems (29 CFR part 1910, subpart D).” (www.osha.gov)

Below are some of the key takeaways from this OSHA regulation:
• If a rolling ladder is used, it must be secure. This is important during harsh weather conditions or uneven ground that could potentially cause the ladder the move.
• Boxes or other unstable bases should never be used to provide additional height.
• If an employee is required to use a platform ladder as part of their job duties, they must be properly trained by certified personnel.

Rolling ladders remain the best solution for warehousing and distribution. Visit www.tri-arc.com to learn about various options, including desired height, tread and much more. #usamade #proudtobeusamade #laddersafety

Ladders are very common so it is easy to forget the risks involved in using them.

Per OSHA, it is estimated that for general industry companies, falls from ladders — step, straight, combination and extension — account for 20% of fatal and lost workday injuries. Most incidents would be prevented by compliance with OSHA regulations. Falling from heights is of the most cited OSHA violations.

So when it comes to purchasing a ladder for your business and/or employees, you want to ensure that you are adhering to ALL OSHA regulations. These safe practices help your and your business help protect workers and prevent costly injuries. What will easily address these concerns? Why a Tri-Arc ladder, of course.
