Health and Safety: Beware of the Tiger ladder

[finky]

Using a ladder on site you should have 3 points of contact ie 2 feet and 1 hand or vice versa

Ladders are for access only

I worked with an old boy who last one if his arms in the seventies we use to call him ground zero!!

Sorry, but NO, Ladders are not "for access only" if after a measured assessment of the risk, it is deemed to be the safest/only practical way to access and conduct minor works.

i.e. Like some of our buildings where there is no room for scaffolding or a MEWP.

And the only other option being a crane basket, or humengeous expensive Boom-lift blocking the Main street.

This would not be considered a "practical" way to access for minor maint .

 

All correct procedures being observed.

The climber being relaxed about being on a ladder etc etc.

have a comp see who can scale the pole the fastest with a tiger underneath:thumbup:

 

save the zoo having to feed the tigers a new gladiatorial game.

 

 

Like "hunger games", but use lazy, stoner, non-running back from the chipper, standing on ropes, talking on mobile groundies,,,,,,??

[finky]

You can't Even use a cordless drill off a ladder on site now

It's all mobile towers WITH ladders for access

That's how they like it

Safety first and all that jazz
