A practical ladder safety poster combining legislation information, clear photographs and do’s and don’ts for ladder and stepladder use. Available in A4, A3 and A2, with paper or rigid polypropylene plastic options.
Ladder Safety Posters give workers a quick visual reference for safer ladder and stepladder use, combining legislation information, practical do’s and don’ts and clear photographs. Position them near ladder storage or work-at-height preparation areas so the guidance is seen before use.
Where to Install
Position your Ladder Safety Poster where people can read it before selecting, setting up or using a ladder or stepladder. Useful locations include ladder storage points, equipment issue areas, maintenance preparation areas and training spaces. Keep the complete poster visible rather than placing it behind stored equipment or where the reader only encounters it after beginning the task.
Viewing Distance
This is a detailed information poster rather than a single-message safety sign, so users need to be able to approach closely enough to read the smaller guidance. Select the size according to the available wall space, how early you want the poster noticed and the number of people likely to use the display point.
| Selected size | Practical positioning guidance |
|---|---|
| A4 – H 297 × W 210 mm | Best for close-reading points where one person can stop directly in front of the poster. |
| A3 – H 420 × W 297 mm | Useful where the poster needs greater presence while remaining suitable for relatively close reading. |
| A2 – H 594 × W 420 mm | Choose for larger shared areas or where users should recognise the display earlier on their approach. |
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installation
When displayed before ladder use, the poster gives workers an accessible reminder of important behaviours and helps reinforce the points they should consider before climbing or starting a task.
✅ Earlier recognition of ladder and stepladder behaviours that require attention before work starts.
✅ Clearer reminders of the practical do’s and don’ts shown on the poster at the point of use.
✅ Reduced uncertainty by keeping key ladder-use guidance visible where workers can refer back to it.

Installation Guidance
Avoid poor placement
❌ Do not position the poster where stored ladders, doors or equipment regularly obstruct it.
❌ Do not place it beyond the point where the user has already started the ladder task.
❌ Avoid poorly lit or visually cluttered wall areas that make the detailed guidance difficult to read.
Understand its limits
❌ Do not use the poster as a substitute for assessing whether a ladder is suitable for the task.
❌ Do not treat general poster guidance as a replacement for instructions supplied with a particular ladder.
❌ Do not rely on the poster alone for worker competence, inspection, supervision or other work-at-height controls.
Make the guidance useful
✅ Install it where workers naturally prepare for, collect or return ladder equipment.
✅ Keep the complete poster well lit, unobstructed and accessible for close reading.
✅ Use the local information panel where appropriate and keep displayed information current and legible.
Frequently asked questions
What information do Ladder Safety Posters provide? They combine ladder and stepladder safety information with a legislation section, practical do’s and don’ts, photographs, safety symbols and an area for local contact details.Which poster size should I choose? Choose A4 for compact close-reading locations, A3 when you need greater presence and A2 for larger shared areas where you want the display to be noticed earlier.
Where should I position the poster? Place it before the point where ladders are selected or used, such as close to ladder storage, maintenance preparation areas or relevant training points.
Can this poster replace ladder training or a risk assessment? No. It should be used as a visible supporting reminder and not as a replacement for suitable risk assessment, equipment checks, instruction, supervision or worker competence.
Should I choose paper or rigid polypropylene plastic? Base the choice on the intended display location and conditions. Both materials are available, so select the format appropriate to where the poster will be mounted.
