Walking and Working Surfaces and Materials Handling and Storage Report

Prepare a project report using the attached  Consulting Report template for your project, and complete the template based on following information:

Part I: Discuss the nine items to check when conducting a ladder inspection.

Part II: There is an elevated area within the plant that requires two maintenance personnel at least once every 2 weeks to access and perform preventive maintenance by lubricating the gears and pulleys. They are currently using a 20-foot extension ladder to reach the locations that require maintenance. This requires that the ladder be moved six times per event, along with one of the employees climbing up and down the ladder. The maintenance supervisor for the plant has provided a drawing of a proposed elevated platform (catwalk) that he would like to install and has asked you to review them for compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards and to identify any potential problems with the design. See Figure 5.1 below:
