A Few Things to Consider When Specifying a Fixed Ladder

When specifying an Aluminum Access Ladder, whether on the interior or exterior of the building, remember to pay attention to any coping, cornices, or gutters along the roof line or pipes along the walls. OSHA code 1910.23(d)(2) requires a minimum of 7 inches of clear space behind the Fixed Ladder from the centerline of the rung to the nearest obstruction. Extended brackets are the solution.
