Clitheroe 422324 (Editorial), 422323 (Advertising), Burnley 422331 (Classified) Dangerous ladders can kil by Duncan Smith


DANGEROUS ladders can be deadly, which is why Ribble Valley Borough C ou n c il h a s join ed forces w i th th e Health and Safety Executive and Daw­ son’s Department Store, in Clitheroe, to remove them from the workplace. Over the summer months small businesses


in Ribble Valley can get their ladders checked and, if necessary, trade them in for new ones at up to half the price as part of a new initia­ tive called “Ladder Exchange”. The council’s senior environmental health


officer, Eamonn Roberts, said: “Ladder Exchange gives small businesses the opportu­ nity to assess the risks involved in ladder use and, if necessary, replace their ladders at a


discount. We want anyone working at height to use the right ladders for the job and use


them safely. "We are therefore delighted to launch this


scheme in conjunction with the Health and Safety Executive and Dawson’s Department


Store.” Nearly 50 workers died and a further 3,351


suffered major injuries in the UK last year as a result of a fall from height in the workplace. Dr Elizabeth Gibby, head of the Health


and Safety Executive’s injuries reduction pro­ gramme, said: “There is still a lot of poor standard equipment out there and we are ask­ ing people to get rid of ‘dodgy’ ladders from the workplace. Simple precautions can save lives and prevent injuries.” Gary Massey, shop floor manager at Daw­ son’s Department Store, added: “Our iron­


mongery department has been selling ladders for as long as I can remember and we are delighted to support any initiative aimed at making the workplace safer.” Eamonn Roberts and his team will be


undertaking random inspections over the next 12 weeks to ensure work at height is being carried out safely and ladders are in a safe condition. “If necessary, we will seize and destroy


unsafe ladders and may prosecute anyone who is putting the lives of their workers at risk,” added Mr Roberts. 9 To ensure your ladder is up to scratch,


check for the following: Bent, broken or miss­ ing rungs, rot or rust, loose rivets, split or bent stiles, paint or chemical splashes, miss­ ing or damaged feet and/or extension bars

Glorious weather greets naturalists


GLORIOUS sunshine was enjoyed by Clitheroe Naturalists on a visit to Arnside. This once busy port is now an unspoilt


resort where the River Kent enters More- cambe Bay. Many native coastal plants were identi­


fied, along with a number of birds - among them heron, shellduck, teal, cormorant and tern.


Starting from


Amside railway sta­ tion, the route fol­ lowed the disused railway to Sandside where a short break was taken to watch anglers fishing the estuary for eels and flounders in fast currents which can create a strong tidal bore. From there the


village of Storth was explored with its beautiful gar­ dens showing off early summer blooms. The group then


went to join the limestone link path via Hazelslack Tower and back to Amside. Sixty-five differ­


ent flowers were spotted including field madder, sea campion, scurvy grass and buck- shorn plantain. Chairman F-


Mason thanked jo in t leaders C. Pickles and J. Trot­ ter.
