Ladders in Scaffolding: New Guidance

Launched at the recent Safety & Health Expo, the Ladder Association has published new guidance when using ladders in scaffolding. It underlines the need to ensure that ladders used in scaffolding applications meet the requisite standards and are supplied complete with the relevant – and genuine – approvals mark and test certificate. Comments the Association’s Technical Director, Don Aers: ” This new document is designed to inform and guide anyone with the responsibility for specifying and purchasing ladders for use in scaffolding. Always use the right ladder, manufactured to the correct standard and use it safely.”Ignorance is no defence".
