HSE

Act now to ensure your ladders are safe!

Falls from ladders account for nearly a third of all falls. The Work at Height Regulations mean that where workers are put at risk of a fall from height, the HSE will take appropriate action.

ENSURE YOUR LADDER IS COMPLIANT

SGB is working with the HSE by offering a Ladder Exchange scheme. If you use a ladder in your day to day work, make sure it’s the right ladder for the job. If it’s not, or of it’s broken, battered or bent, exchange it. If you don't then you could have your work stopped - or be subject to enforcement action. HSE and Local Authority inspectors are visiting workplaces during September to December 2009 to ensure all ladders are compliant and the correct equipment is being used.

SGB LADDER EXCHANGE

So don’t wait for the inspectors. Take advantage of our ladder exchange offer. For a limited period only SGB is offering 55% off all steps and ladders and 40% off low-level access platforms* when you part exchange your old or faulty ladder with SGB.
