Ladder Association takes on Ladder Exchange

With immediate effect, the Ladder Association, the trade body representing the ladder industry in the UK and Ireland, has assumed responsibility for delivering the annual Ladder Exchange. Since it was first launched in 2007, it has been responsible for removing over 10,000 broken, bent or damaged ladders from the workplace with the message 'Don't let a dodgy ladder shatter your life'.

Actively supported by the Ladder Association and its members who, throughout, have made a firm commitment to work in partnership with HSE and the access industry, the Exchange has also contributed to raising awareness and under standing of how to use ladders and stepladders safely. Under the scheme, suspect ladders can be exchanged, at a discount, at participating partners.
