Are wooden straight ladders allowed to be used in chemical plants? If it can be used, what kind of usage and management systems should there be?
It should work; having proper safety measures in place should be sufficient. ?
No, these days even wood is not allowed to be used for building frameworks.
In chemical enterprises, there is a great variety of products; areas that meet fire safety regulations can be used!
There used to be standards for wooden straight ladders and folding wooden ladders; now they seem to have been combined into \"GB 7059-2007 | Safety Requirements for Portable Folding Wooden Ladders\". The person asking the question can refer to the relevant requirements in this standard – as long as the ladder meets those requirements, it should be usable.
I have to tell you responsibly: No!
Generally, it’s not possible. Systems for the management and use of ladders (including straight ladders, A-frame ladders, flexible ladders, climbing ladders, etc.) should be established, and what’s crucial is their implementation.
These days, it’s rare to see wooden ladders used temporarily in production; most temporary ladders used by electricians and instrument technicians for repairs are made of lightweight angle steel, which are convenient to use and not very heavy.
