ANSI Standard A14.3-2000 Ladders – Fixed – Safety Requirements Scope and Application: This standard prescribes minimum requirements for the design, construction, and use of fixed ladders, and sets forth requirements for cages, wells, and ladder safety systems used with fixed ladders in order to minimize personal injuries. All parts and accessories necessary for a safe and efficient ladder shall be considered integral parts of the design. The methods employed to ensure compliance with this standard shall be determined by the proper regulatory or administrative authority. • Pitch: This standard covers fixed ladders within the pitch range of 60 to 90 degrees from the horizontal. ° Preferred Pitch: The preferred pitch of fixed ladders shall be considered to be within the range of 75 to 90 degrees from the horizontal. ° Substandard Pitch: Fixed ladders shall be considered substandard if they are installed within the substandard pitch range of 60 to 75 degrees from the horizontal. ° Pitch Greater Than 90 Degrees: Ladders having a pitch in excess of 90 degrees from the horizontal shall not be permitted. • Exceptions : This standard is intended for application to the types of structures depicted and described in the standard (i.e. buildings, wells, and shafts). It sets forth the criteria (what is needed) necessary to build a fixed ladder in a certain way and manner (how to build). The standard does not contemplate special or unique (as to where and when) applications of the requirements or a combination of requirements may apply universally. This standard establishes requirements for fixed ladders in order to promote a greater degree of standardization. In cases where difficulty is encountered in complying with the standard, or where there are special service conditions, it is expected that the administra
