A new campaign from the Ladder Association sets out to inform those who use, or manage the use of, ladders and stepladders in the workplace about the latest developments.

The association has created a team of Ladder Advocates who are available to address national and regional meetings of trade and professional bodies whose members are regular ladder users.

The presentation covers a range of topics and includes a screening of the association's latest Toolbox Talk. Specific questions can be submitted in advance to ensure the subject matter is relevant to the audience. Standard topics include: Ladders and the Work at Height Regulations; What the HSE says about ladders; Selecting ladders through risk assessment;Using the right ladder and using it safely; Competency and the case for training; Planning and organising work using ladders; The role of inspection and maintenance; Impending changes to ladder standards and trends in design and ladder technology. There is no charge for this Advocate Scheme.
