AS/NZS 1892 Compliant

Ladder Inspections That Keep Your Team Safe & Compliant

We inspect all types of workplace ladders to ensure they meet AS/NZS 1892 standards and WHS safety requirements.

Professional Ladder Inspection Services

Liberty Test & Tag offers comprehensive visual and functional ladder inspections for trades, workshops, offices, and construction sites across Sydney, Canberra, and Lithgow. Our certified technicians ensure every ladder in your workplace meets Australian Standards and WHS safety requirements.

Ladder inspections are essential for schools, particularly in high-use maintenance, administration, and IT areas.

Ladders are one of the most commonly used workplace tools—and one of the most dangerous when not properly maintained. Damaged or untagged ladders can result in serious injuries, WHS breaches, fines, and potential legal liability for employers.

Regular ladder inspections protect your workers, demonstrate due diligence, and ensure your business remains compliant with workplace health and safety legislation.

Why Ladder Inspections Matter

  • Falls from ladders are a leading cause of workplace injuries and fatalities
  • WHS legislation requires regular inspection of all workplace access equipment
  • Damaged ladders must be immediately removed from service and repaired or replaced
