Is there a standard gradient or angle that a ramp should be when it is coming from a scaffold into a building?
The ramp is not connected to scaffold but is used to unload equipment from a scaffold into the building.
Having carried out an inspection of this type of ramp on a site, I have found one that is quite steep and could pose a STF for anyone attempting to walk down it with equipment.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

you have demonstrated that you are able to make a competent risk assessment. If the ramp is a slip hazard, make it an easier slope and if possible paint with bitumen with some grit thrown in before it sets or if that is not acceptable put battens accross like you get in a horse box ramp, although this is ok for 4 legged creatures its a poor second to my first 2 suggestions

"The ramp is not connected to scaffold" What is it connected to, can it be re sited to reduce the incline?

Hi
Is it not practicable to have that section of the scaffold lifted, to make a level loading bay ?

what is the ramp connected to? who put it there? is it going through a window or an opening ? has it got edge protection ? Is it going to move with a load or a person on it?
I think these are the questions you sould be asking and more
