Damage limitation for 'dodgy' ladders

"Don't let 'dodgy' ladders shatter lives" - that's the message from Ladderstore.com for companies who don't keep a careful eye on their ladders and risk the health and safety of their staff. The company's message is in support of the 2010 Ladder Exchange, which started on 1st September with Ladderstore an HSE campaign partner for the fourth year.

Last year 1400 'dodgy' ladders were taken out of service, with a total of 7000 since the campaign began in 2007. In addition to taking in old and damaged ladders and offering a discount on a new replacement, the company is also offering a free Ladderlog Starter Pack, a ladder safety checklist which can be downloaded for free and 10% off ladder training courses.
