Ladders are designed and constructed to safely hold up to a
specific amount of weight. Werner ladders come in different
Duty Ratings, identified by their grade and type.
The Duty Rating, is defined as the maximum safe load
capacity of the ladder. A person’s fully clothed weight plus
the weight of any tools and materials that are carried onto the
ladder must be less than the duty rating.
Workers should be advised to consider both the weight,
which will be on the ladder and the work application, and to
select the proper grade of ladder, which is designed to handle
anticipated usage.
