Intended to encourage safety and best practice amongst the UK's estimated 2m ladder users, the code contains a foreword from HSE welcoming the Ladder Association's contribution to helping minimise and avoid falls from height.
Complete with a risk assessment template covering planning, setting up the job, carrying out the task and inspecting and maintaining ladders, the code offers easy-to-follow, practical advice in five distinct sections.
Whilst the document may be used as a stand-alone reference, it is not intended to replace professional ladder training. Comments Ladder Association chairman, Chris Bal, "This is a supplementary resource which should serve as a useful reminder to all those delegates who have attended Ladder Association training courses."
