7 reasons to keep unsafe ladders out of use

Clipboard lost, the stepladder with a split foot is back in the store, and the insurer wants your inspection records by Friday. This register keeps all of it in one place: which ladders are safe to use today, what is due next and which defects are still open.

  • Excel & Google Sheets, no macros
  • Example + blank file
  • Start-here guide
  • One-off price, no subscription

The list

Why a ready-made register beats paper and a blank spreadsheet

01

See what is due next

Overdue first, then the next 30, 60 and 90 days on the Due List

03

Detailed inspection log

Stiles, feet, rungs/treads, locks and braces, platform, ropes, labels, clean and dry. The overall result is worked out for you

04

Next due dates from your own interval for each equipment type

(you can set a different interval for any single ladder)

05

Defects & Actions

Every defect gets a severity, an action, an owner and a target date. Overdue actions turn red and show on the Dashboard

06

Pre-use checks

A quick record of the user check before use. A defect that is not on Defects & Actions yet is flagged

07

Users & Training

Who may use or inspect ladders and when their refresher is due

Made for some, honestly not for others

A good fit if you…

  • UK workplaces that use ladders, stepladders, podiums, towers and kick stools: facilities and site managers, schools, warehouses, shops and trades

  • want to pay once, not another subscription

  • want someone to do the records for you

How it works

Three steps, about 15 minutes to set up

  1. 1

    Set up once

    Your equipment types and intervals, locations, inspectors, then one row per ladder (about 15 minutes)

  2. 2

    Record as you go

    Each inspection, pre-use check and defect, a few minutes a week

  3. 3

    Check and act

    Open the Dashboard and the Due List, close defects, print the Audit Pack when asked
