Dear Professionals,
In our company premises, there is a 60-meter-high furnace stack. We are required to install a Lightning Arrestor on it and a ladder with a guardrail attached to it. Please guide me and send safety precautions and a checklist for the same. The Lightning Arrestor weighs approximately 8 kgs. This is a risky job, and the ladder is 20 years old.
Regards,

Installation of Lightning Arrestor and Ladder Safety
You clearly stated that the 'Ladder was 20 years old'. Please make sure to check with Mechanical/Structural Engineering before starting work. The Lightning Arrestor weighs only 8 kg, so I don't think it's a big issue to install.
Please conduct a Risk Assessment (RA) or Job Safety Analysis (JSA) for the activity, share it with us, and we will guide you on how to safely complete the work.
