Why this sign: This sign should be posted in areas where ladder use has been assessed as unsafe or where alternative access equipment such as scaffolding, mobile elevated work platforms, or fixed stairs must be used instead. It addresses the risk of falls from height caused by inappropriate or uncontrolled use of ladders in hazardous or restricted zones.

Compliance note: In Ireland, employers must provide appropriate safety signage where hazards cannot be avoided or adequately reduced by other measures, based on the workplace risk assessment, under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007. This sign is suitable for use as part of a workplace safety-signage system where identified by that risk assessment.
