PIP STF05501 Fixed Ladders and Cages

PURPOSE AND USE OF PROCESS INDUSTRY PRACTICES In an effort to minimize the cost of process industry facilities, this Practice has  been prepared from the technical requirements in the existing standards of major  industrial users, contractors, or standards organizations. By harmonizing these technical requirements into a single set of Practices, administrative, application, and engineering costs to both the purchaser and the manufacturer should be reduced. While this Practice is expected to incorporate the majority of requirements of most users, individual applications may involve requirements that will be appended to and take  precedence over this Practice. Determinations concerning fitness for purpose and  particular matters or application of the Practice to particular project or engineering situations should not be made solely on information contained in these materials. The use of trade names from time to time should not be viewed as an expression of   preference but rather recognized as normal usage in the trade. Other brands having the same specifications are equally correct and may be substituted for those named. All Practices or guidelines are intended to be consistent with applicable laws and regulations including OSHA requirements. To the extent these Practices or guidelines should conflict with OSHA or other applicable laws or regulations, such laws or  regulations must be followed. Consult an appropriate professional before applying or  acting on any material contained in or suggested by the Practice.

This Practice is subject to revision at any time by the responsible Function Team and will be reviewed every 5 years. This Practice will be r evised, reaffirmed, or  withdrawn. Information on whether this Practice has been revised may be found at www.pip.org.

TECHNICAL CORECTION February 2002 

Introduction 1.1

Purpose This Practice provides the fabricator and erector with a standard fixed ladder and cage design to be used in process industry facilities. This Practice also provides  process industry companies with design guide information to be used in specifying and locating fixed ladders and cages.

1.2

Scope This Practice shows the design details for fabrication and installation of typical Occupational Safety and Health Administration-regulated ladders for structures, miscellaneous platforms, and vessels for regular operational access/egress. These details are intended to be issued to the fabricators supplying these ladders and to the erectors for use in installation. Any conflicts or inconsistencies between this Practice, the design drawings, or other  contract documents shall be brought to the attention of the buyer for resolution.

2.

References Applicable requirements in the following PIP Practices, codes and standards, and government regulations shall be considered an integral part of this Practice. The edition in effect on the date of contract award shall be used, except as otherwise noted. Short titles will  be used herein when appropriate.

PIP STF05501 Fixed Ladders and Cages

Government Regulations The following government document has been used as a reference in the development of this Practice. •

U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)  –   Regulations 29 CFR 1910 Subpart D (Walking-Working Surfaces)

Modifications or deviations from this Practice should be reviewed by appropriate  personnel to assure compliance with applicable safety regulations and requirements  by state or local agencies that have jurisdiction where the ladder is to be erected.

3.

Design 3.1

The project design drawings and data sheets specify the ladder location and orientation, whether or not a cage is required, special fabrication details, and any changes to the requirements of this Practice. Unless noted otherwise on the contract documents, a self-closing double bar safety gate, in conformance with OSHA, shall  be provided for all ladders.

3.2

All structural material shall be ASTM A36  steel unless otherwise noted.

3.3

The entire ladder shall be welded construction except as shown. All welds shall be smooth, continuous, and sealed. Fabrication shall comply with  PIP STS05120.

3.4

All ladder bolts shall be 5/8-inch (16-mm) ASTM A307  bolts unless otherwise noted.

3.5

Ladder rung design is based on a 200-pound (890-N) concentrated live load.

3.6

Ladder connections are designed for a maximum total load (dead plus live) of  1000 pounds (4.4 kN) on one side rail.

3.7

Cages shall be provided on ladders of more than 20 feet to a maximum unbroken length of 30 feet, where the length of ladder refers to the vertical distance between landings. Cages are also required on ladders less than 20 feet in length where the ladder is located at an elevated platform that does not provide adequate fall  protection. Consideration of cage protection for these applications should be made in the design process for each particular case. Ladder safety devices may be used in lieu of the required cage protection.

3.8

Ladder assemblies shall be coated after fabrication in accordance with the design drawings and specifications governing the project. 3.8.1

3.9

Galvanizing (when required) shall be done after fabrication and in accordance with PIP STS05120.

Erection of ladders shall comply with PIP STS05130.
