As a provider of ladders, bespoke access

and safety training, Ladderstore is well
placed to support the HSE ladder safety
campaign.Through this year's Ladder Exchange
initiative, the HSE will be providing employers
with the opportunity to exchange bent, broken
or battered ladders for new ones at a
discounted price.
Ladderstore.com's offer comprises a free
ladder tagging starter pack worth £34.44, a
ladder safety checklist which can be
downloaded free, and discounts off new ladder
orders linked to the HSE campaign.Working
with ladder manufacturers all over the UK and
Europe, Ladderstore can source all types of
ladders at highly competitive prices and offers a
'price match' promise.
For those in the north-west with dodgy
ladders to dispose of, Ladderstore has a drop-off point if a
replacement ladder is being purchased. Visitors to the HSE website
www.hse.gov.uk/falls/ladderexchange.htm can select the link
www.ladderstore.com/hse to access these offers

"In 2007/08 58 workers died and over 3600
were seriously injured as a result of a fall from
height in the workplace.Over a quarter of these
incidents involved ladders," comments Peter
Brown, HSE head of work environment, radiation
and gas division."We want anyone working at
height to use the right ladder for the job and to
use it safely. Ladder Exchange is the perfect
opportunity for businesses to assess the risks
involved in using ladders and to adopt sensible
health and safety measures."
"Providing safe methods for working at height
is the reason we are in business,which is why we
are proud to have been partners of the HSE's
Ladder Exchange programme since its start," says
Gail Hounslea, MD of Ladderstore.com."Anything
that removes dodgy ladders and promotes regular
ladder safety checks has our continued support and we look forward
to this campaign being every bit as
successful as those previously. More articles from Wardworth Ltd T/a Ladderstore.com: |
