English term

handhold

English to French Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering sécurité
Ladders must extend at least 1.05 meters above the landing place unless some other suitable handhold is available

Les échelles doivent s’élever à au moins 1,05 mètres du sol, à moins qu'une autre prise soit disponible

Je ne suis pas satisfaite de "sol" pour "landing place" et de "prise" pour "handhold". Une proposition ? Merci
Proposed translations (French)
4 +1 dépasser d'au moins 1,05 mètre le niveau d'accès - prise
4 +2 une prise

Tony M May 29, 2019:
@ Asker No, that's absolutely NOT what it means! This is why I think you are misunderstanding and ought to submit a further question for that term.
Claire Mendes Real (asker) May 29, 2019:
Thank you for the comment. I am not satisfied with "sol", I understand that it is where the ladder lays down. Perhaps "support"
Tony M May 29, 2019:
@ Asker: 'landing place' You should ask a separate question for 'landing place', as I would agree, 'sol' is definitely wrong; but your suggestion of it might seem to indicate that you are not understanding 'landing place' correctly?

dépasser d'au moins 1,05 mètre le niveau d'accès - prise

Je viens de trouver cet article, cela pourrait vous inspirer.

"Les échelles d'accès sont d'une longueur telle qu'elles dépassent d'au moins un mètre le niveau d'accès, à moins que d'autres mesures aient été prises pour garantir une prise sûre."

agree Daryo : autrement dit si la dénivellation est de 3 m, l'échelle doit faire au moins 4,05 m.

"landing place" = where you "land" when you have climbed the rungs of the ladder...

"Always keep your belt buckle between the uprightsStepladders should be fully opened and stay bars locked in place• Ensure the ladder extends one metre above the landing place (eg, roof line) and is at least four metres clear of power lines."

thanks Tony!
agree Daryo : "landing place" = where you "land" when you have climbed the rungs of the ladder... exactly! Blindingly obvious - if you have ever looked at something else than your computer screen at least once in your life!
