This British Standard specifies requirements for hooks that are intended to be welded permanently to chimneys and other high structures in steel to provide means of access for inspection and maintenance by steeplejacks and members of similar trades who normally fit their own ladders.

Recommendations on the use of access fittings are given in appendix A.
