The picture doesn't relate to the article. Wonder why they didnt use the actual zigzag in the picture. Hmmm

No doubt the HSE will be using this to support their demand for 2 rope working

 

Just to clarify, although misleadingly titled as such, this ALERT did not originate from the actual HSE. It was a term used in the principle contractors report...probably shudda been 'H&S' or 'SAFETY'

Thanks for the clarification

Makes sense.

 

The HSE would probably have included a picture of a broken ladder.

It's also a Mark 2. Wonder why it wasn't replaced in the recall 

It's a mk3 and there was no recall on the mk2, they just extended the warranty to 10 years. Back to the accident and pictures in question...the issue is the top plate spring has failed, nothing to do with the cam

I can’t find anything about this on the Petzl website or on the HSE website recent safety bulletins. (?!)

Mine are working fine!

It came to me in an email from the Arb Association.

Sorry, I meant that the picture wasnt a Mk 3, not the accident
