Paragraph 2

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

A ladder shall—

(a)

be suitable and of sufficient strength for the purpose or purposes for which it is being used;

(b)

be so erected as to ensure that it does not become displaced; and

(c)

where it is of a length when used of 3 metres or more, be secured to the extent that it is practicable to do so and where it is not practicable to secure the ladder a person shall be positioned at the foot of the ladder to prevent it slipping at all times when it is being used.
