Ladder Register Template

A ladder register for listing and tracking the ladders in use across a site or business. Each ladder is recorded with a number, description, location and the dates it has been inspected, giving you a single inventory of your ladders and their inspection history.

The Work at Height Regulations 2005 and PUWER require work equipment, including ladders, to be maintained and inspected. A register underpins that by giving you one place to see every ladder and when it was last checked, and supports a health and safety management system aligned with ISO 45001.

Built for Working at Height and ISO 45001

The register gives you what ladder management needs:

• A numbered inventory of every ladder in use
• A description and location for each ladder
• The dates each ladder has been inspected
• Space for comments against each ladder

What's Included in this Ladder Register

The register is a simple, repeatable table:

• Register header - the location and who completed the register
• Ladder entries - a number, description, location, inspection dates and comments for each ladder

Who Needs a Ladder Register?

Any organisation that uses ladders - trades, maintenance, warehousing, facilities, retail - and needs to keep track of them and their inspections. It suits smaller businesses managing work equipment without a dedicated safety team, and anyone maintaining a health and safety management system aligned with ISO 45001.

Pairs with the Ladder Inspection Form

A register records what you have; the inspection records the check, so it pairs with the F-Q83 Ladder Inspection Form, which works through a detailed pre-use condition check of an individual ladder.
