can I use a ladder for floor to floor access in B.C.

In British Columbia, using a ladder for floor-to-floor access is generally not recommended if there is another safe and recognizable way to enter or leave an elevated or sub-level work area. According to the Occupational Health and Safety Code, employers must ensure that workers do not use a ladder to enter or leave such areas if there is another safe method available [1]. This implies that ladders should not be used as a primary means of access between floors if there are safer alternatives like stairs or elevators. If a ladder must be used, it should be done in compliance with all safety regulations, ensuring it is properly secured and used safely.
