VISUAL & PHYSICAL INSPECTION
a) All rungs, for snugness and tightness
b) ALL bolts and rivets, for tightness
c ) Welds, for any cracks or apparent defects
d) Beams and rungs, for any cracks, splintering, breaks, gouges, checks, wavy conditions, or deformation worn serrations, punctures

PHYSICAL TESTS PER NFPA 1932
Hardware Test
Roof Hook Test
Horizontal Bending Test
Note: the optional hardness test has been deleted from the NFPA 1932
HEAT SENSORS
We will inspect and replace heat sensors as needed or if expired. If the ladder is constructed of metal of fiberglass materials and it does not have heat sensor labels, the ladder shall be tested in accordance with Chapter 7 of the NFPA 1932 Standard.
If the ladder passes all the test-sensor labels shall be applied to the ladder. (Note: each ladder section is to have 4 labels) i.e.: 14 foot roof ladder requires 4 labels, 24 foot, 2 section, extension ladder requires 8 labels located on the inside of each beam, immediately below the second rung, from the tip and midpoint of the section.
TEST DOCUMENTATION
We provide your department with test documentation on each ladder tested.
Our documentation is in accordance with the NFPA 1932 requirements and will be delivered after the test.
