The PSC surveyors reported that the ladder is one of four 54 step ladders covered by NKK certificates issued to the manufacturing company Jiangsu Ouya Marien Outfitting.

At the top of the ladder, the collapsible handrail on each side is connected to an upright stanchion on the top platform by a short length of curved handrail, which is located by means of a drop nose pin at each end.

All axial loading applied to the handrail is transferred through the pins to the stanchion.
