At what height above ground level does a hoop arrangement have to be fitted. I have been told varying degree's of height ranging from 2m - 3.5m, so thought I would pose the question to a more competent group.
I have already taken other other fall arrest systems into account so please direct your answers to the specific question.
Many thanks

There is no prescribed height where hoops must be fitted to a fixed ladder
Hoops on a fixed ladder are not a fall arrest system.

Hi Elfy,
The height should be 2.5m above floor / ground level (BS 5395 Part 3: Stairs, ladders and Walkways - Code of Practice for the design of industrial type stairs, permanent ladders and Walkways).

Dave, thank you I was aware that hoops / cages etc are not a true form of fall arrest, there must have been a block from my mind to my fingers!
I have also been told between 2.2m -3.0m from ground level for safety cages / hoops. This is contained in BS4211:2005 Permanently fixed ladders.
Many thanks.
