• Suppose: Light Duty(OSHA): 125kg/m2 = 3m * 1.25m


= 125kg/m2 * 3.75m2
= 125kg/m2 * 3.75m2

= 468.75kg (UDL)
PLACING LADDERS:
• Angle 75 degrees or 4 to 1 slope.
• Base on firm even ground,
• On soft ground use sole plate,
• Never use packing to gain height,
• Ladder should project above landing place sufficiently to
provide handhold, should be minimum 1m or three rungs. 16.75 Inches
• There should be space above rung for adequate foothold
(Landing),
• Tie adequately on Top, Bottom & Mid,
• If ladder is more than 3M in height, then use mid tie to 11.5 inches
