Ladder Inspections

Ladder Inspections

Proactive Compliance is a full service WHS Consultancy company taking a holistic approach to equipment use and maintenance. We offer a portable ladder inspection service to clients ranging from small businesses to multi-site organisations throughout Australia.

The National fall prevention regulations and Code of Practice for Managing The Risk of Falls at Workplaces mandates the regular inspection of ladders. Portable ladders must meet the requirements of AS/NZS 1892.a.

Portable ladders are in constant use resulting in damage and wear. Conducting regular inspections of your portable ladder is essential in ensuring a safe working environment. Our third party audits help you fulfil your duty of care to maintain a safe workplace.

Our experienced inspectors conduct independent ladder inspections of all brands of ladders. We do not sell or repair ladders and are not aligned with any manufacturer. Our inspections are conducted in accordance with the Australian Standard AS/NZS 1892.5 Portable Ladders.

Ladders are given an asset number and details are recorded for your compliance report. The ladder is fitted with a compliant or non-compliant sticker after each inspection.
