Toolbox talk

The ‘Inspection of Ladders and Stepladders’ talk sees the association’s technical manager Don Aers discuss legal requirements, what to look for and how to carry out an inspection. The video joins a number of ladder talks available on the association’s website, including the use of ladders in scaffolding and guidance for more casual users.

This comes during a period of growth: in March the association broke its previous monthly record for people trained, more than doubling February’s figure. Also, more people were trained in safe ladder use in the first five months of 2013 than in the entirety of 2010.
