Keeping ladders secure when not in use is a critical safety concern across active sites. Ladder guards are designed to prevent unauthorised access by blocking climbing surfaces and deterring tampering. By installing a reliable ladder guard, site managers can leave ladders in position without risk of misuse or liability exposure.
Each unit includes a built-in chain and padlock for simple, secure fitting. These ladder guards are ideal for use on building sites, scaffolding installations and any elevated access point that must be protected during downtime.
- Helps meet safety compliance - Reduces unauthorised access to minimise site risk and liability.
- Highly visible design - Deters opportunistic use of unsecured ladders in busy environments.
- Simple to use - Quick to fit and remove as needed without special tools.
- Built-in locking hardware - Each guard includes a heavy-duty chain and padlock set.
- Leave ladders in place safely - Ideal for temporary or permanent access structures.
On construction sites and industrial zones, managing access to elevated working areas is essential. Ladder guards serve as a proactive control measure, reducing the likelihood of fall-related incidents, theft, or improper use of ladders during off-hours or restricted times. Their universal design ensures compatibility with most standard site ladders, allowing crews to secure access points without disassembling existing setups.
Installation is straightforward—simply position the guard, wrap the chain, and apply the padlock. This practical method makes it possible to protect ladders at the end of a shift without investing in additional scaffolding modifications. Ladder guards are widely adopted across the UK construction industry due to their proven reliability, ease of use, and effectiveness in improving compliance with work-at-height safety standards.

Risk mitigation: By physically blocking access, ladder guards reduce opportunities for injury, helping companies avoid costly HSE incidents. Whether your ladder is internal or external, protecting it with a ladder guard supports best practice across all levels of risk management.
Installation flexibility: These guards can be deployed daily or left long term, making them suitable for both short shift closures and overnight or weekend security. Their lightweight yet robust design makes handling and transport convenient.
Protection during handover: In multiphase or subcontractor environments, unauthorised access to fixed ladders can lead to site conflicts or liabilities. Ladder guards help ensure that only the responsible teams gain access when permitted.
Works with scaffold ladders and more: Their adaptable fit allows use on various access types, ensuring consistent protection regardless of your setup. Especially useful for locations where ladders cannot be removed daily due to logistics or continuity.
