Fixed Ladders |
||||||
|
The preferred pitch of fixed
ladders is between 75 degrees and 90 degrees with the horizontal. Fixed ladders shall be considered to be substandard if they are installed within the pitch range of 60 and 75 degrees with the horizontal. Substandard fixed ladders are permitted only where it is found necessary to meet conditions of installation. This substandard pitch shall be considered as a critical range to be avoided, if possible. Ladders having a pitch in excess of 90 degrees with the horizontal are prohibited. As with all ladders, fixed ladders shall be maintained in a safe condition and inspected regularly.
