Before installation, verify that the delivered ladder matches the approved drawing and that the supporting structure, access route, lifting plan and fixing method are ready. Installation should not begin when bracket positions, anchor selection or top-exit geometry remain uncertain.
Pre-installation checklist
| Check | Evidence |
|---|---|
| Approved drawing | Correct revision available to the site team |
| Delivered parts | Sections, cage parts, brackets and hardware match packing list |
| Supporting structure | Fixing locations confirmed by the responsible engineer |
| Access and lifting | Equipment and safe work area prepared |
| Surface condition | No unacceptable transport damage or contamination |
| Upper landing | Exit, guardrails and clearances coordinated |
During installation
Control alignment before final tightening or welding. Protect galvanized and stainless surfaces from unsuitable grinding debris, lifting damage and mixed-metal contamination. Follow the approved connection and repair methods.
Final inspection
- Confirm ladder alignment and clear climbing space.
- Check all bolts, welds, brackets and anchors.
- Verify cage, top-exit and platform connections.
- Repair coating damage using the approved method.
- Record deviations and obtain acceptance before use.
