Ladder restraint ties are typically installed in pairs around the outside of a building, no more than 2 meters high and have been designed to be used in conjunction with 3 metre ratchet straps, allowing for quick and easy use.
They’re designed to secure a removable access ladder into position when a worker is at height. This allows them to carry out a task securely and safely without the need for another worker to be stood on the ground below ensuring the ladder is secure against the wall. This removes the need for multiple workers to work on one simple task, as the ladder restraint and ties can keep the individual working at height safe and secure whilst they work.
Following the guidelines of PUWER ladder restraint ties are to be inspected and maintained in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations. This includes a regular visual inspection, combined with a physical pull test to determine the suitability of fixing. These restraint ties must be inspected by a suitable working at height Specialist Company a minimum of every 12 months.

Ladder ties and restraints are to be used with removable access ladders in order to provide a stable working environment and reduce the risk of falls from height. They enable a person to work alone for short durations of time in order to complete a task where normally two people would be required, as the ladder restraint takes on the role of the second person, securing the ladder into position and protecting the worker carrying out tasks at height.
Ladder ties are installed quickly and easily around the outside of a building in pairs. They’re installed no more than 2 metres high and make use of 3 metre ratchet straps to secure the ladder into position when working. They’re a permanent solution, but the ratchet straps can be detached and stored easily.
As well as allowing operatives to use ladders on their own for a short period of time, ladder ties are a more cost efficient solution than safety eyebolts. Straps are easily stored as part of an operative’s PPE or within vehicles to deploy whenever required, making them a simple solution to potential fatal falls.
It is recommended in BS 8213 that when ladders are being used they should be secured at the base to eyebolts. It is also recommended that the top of the ladder should be secured with restraint ties if possible.
Ladder ties are covered under the umbrella legislation of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER).
Testing/Inspection standards and frequency: The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (P.U.W.E.R) 1998 states that testing must take place a minimum of every 12 months by a working at height specialist company. These systems must be inspected by a suitable working at height Specialist Company both visually and pull tested to ensure they’re functional.
Ladder Ties are available in a range of materials and finishes:
