7 reasons to keep unsafe ladders out of use

Detailed inspection log
Stiles, feet, rungs/treads, locks and braces, platform, ropes, labels, clean and dry. The overall result is worked out for you
Next due dates from your own interval for each equipment type
(you can set a different interval for any single ladder)
Defects & Actions
Every defect gets a severity, an action, an owner and a target date. Overdue actions turn red and show on the Dashboard
Pre-use checks
A quick record of the user check before use. A defect that is not on Defects & Actions yet is flagged
Users & Training
Who may use or inspect ladders and when their refresher is due
