[Dsg-rich] Ladder Use in the Clean Room

[Marc McMullen]

Hi All,

Ladder use at Jlab has specific rules which entail working height, 
ladder inspection, and points of contact while climbing/decending. For 
work requiring the use of both hands, a ladder may not be safe and may 
require additional fall protection. For these reasons, the DSG manager 
has strongly encouraged the use of the Biljax man-lift for work at 
heights in the clean room instead of ladders.

If there is a need to use a ladder in the clean room the matter should 
be discussed with the DSG manager or his designee, prior to use.

Per Jlab EH&S, ladders may only be used by staff/users who have 
completed SAF 307 (Ladder Safety) training. In the case where a user 
does not have this training, please contact a DSG member for help with 
the task.

Stay safe,
