"Don't get done with a 'dodgy' ladder", that's the message from Bolton-based Ladderstore.com for companies who don't keep a careful eye on their ladders and risk the health and safety of their staff. The company's message is in support of the 2010 Ladder Exchange which starts on 1st September with Ladderstore an HSE campaign partner for the fourth year.



With some 2 million ladders thought to be in daily use, they remain an invaluable piece of workplace equipment. However, the majority of users have never received any formal training in the way they should be positioned and used. That's why the association is now campaigning for professional training in all aspects of ladder use, including risk assessment and inspection.
…..emotive words from the HSE - and the name given to its latest campaign to reduce the number of slips, trips or fall accidents at work. Ladderstore heard about this new initiative and knew that it had to be involved. Yes, we are a company out to sell products, but we do so with a conscience and we make no bones about the fact that we want everyone to use the ladders, steps and access equipment we sell, safely.
