Did you know fixed ladder regulations were updated in 2019?

Every year, workers face severe injuries or worse because ladders safety isn’t always ensured. Moreover, despite advances in workplace safety, accidents continue to happen, which clearly highlights the need for stronger measures.

Ladder standards have evolved to ensure safer everyday use, particularly for fixed ladders. In 2019, DIN 18799 standards were updated to enhance safety and reliability, emphasizing secure footing and effective fall protection. This makes it essential for companies specifically in Germany to review and upgrade their ladder systems where needed, reflecting modern safety practices and technical requirements.

Because these changes directly impact ladder safety and design, companies now face the challenge of ensuring ladders in daily operations provide maximum protection. In practice, this means reviewing—and, where necessary, upgrading—existing ladders to meet the updated standards.
