It is good practice to check your ladder before you use it. If your ladder is not up to scratch you could fall from it. You don’t have to fall far to land hard. Last year nearly 100 workers a month suffered broken bones or head injuries following a fall from a ladder. Most of them didn’t fall very far, below head height. Take a moment to check your ladder, not a fall.

 

If your ladder is not up to scratch tell your manager or supervisor straight away – Do not use your ladder.
