Why Job-Made Ladder Inspections Matter
Operational Safety
- HVI guides inspectors through all critical job-made ladder checks including side rail continuity, lumber grade, cleat spacing and fastening, filler block construction, width requirements, and safe use compliance. Our platform ensures every ladder is assessed before workers climb—preventing falls and structural failures on construction sites.
Structural Reliability
