　　Cap 369AU s 7 Steps and side ropes of pilot ladders
　　
　　(1) The steps of a pilot ladder shall-

　　(b) be made in one piece and, in the case of wooden steps, free of knots;
　　
　　(c) have an efficient non-slip surface;

　　Provided that-
　　
　　(i) no pilot ladder shall have more than 2 replacement steps which are secured in position by a method different from that used in the original construction of the ladder, and any steps so secured shall be replaced as soon as is reasonably practicable by steps secured in position by the method used in the original construction of the pilot ladder; and
　　
　　(ii) where any replacement step is secured to the side ropes of the pilot ladder by means of grooves in the sides of the step, such grooves shall be in the longer sides of the step.(2) The side ropes of a pilot ladder shall-
　　
　　(a) consist of 2 ropes on each side which shall not be less than 18 millimetres in diameter and shall-
　　
　　(i) in the case of side ropes of a pilot ladder fitted before 1 January 1994, be made of manila;
　　
　　(ii) in the case of side ropes of a pilot ladder fitted on or after 1 January 1994, be made of manila or other material of equivalent strength, durability and grip which has been protected against degradation and is satisfactory to the Director;(b) be left uncovered by any other material; and

　　(b) made of ash, oak, elm or teak or other hardwood or other material of equivalent strength, stiffness and durability; and
　　
　　(c) made in one piece and, in the case of wooden spreaders, free of knots.(2) The lowest spreader of a pilot ladder shall be on the fifth step from the bottom of the ladder, and the interval between any spreader and the next spreader shall be not more than 9 steps.
