Check it whenever you plan to use a ladder for work. You never know when something unsafe happened. Look for lost hardware, loose steps, and other signs of insecurity.
The top step is dangerous and should not be used in one step. It negates your three contact points and makes your ladder safer no longer so safe.
A door will make your project fail. If the door just hits the ladder, it can be quite dangerous.
The foot of the ladder is very important. If they are damaged, you may be in trouble. Make sure to check your feet for cracks and damage, but also make sure they are on solid ground.
Don't feel that you need to get up and down the ladder quickly. Take your time, move carefully and safely.
