Make sure your ladders are safe


DON’T put your trust in a rickety old ladder - it could cost you your life. That is the message from Ribble


Valley Borough Council, which has joined forces with the Health and Safety Executive and Daw­ son’s Departnient Store,. in Clitheroe, for an initiative aimed at removing dangerous ladders from the workplace. Over the autumn months small


businesses in Ribble Valley can get their ladders checked and, if nec­ essary, trade them in for new ones at up to half the price as part of an initiative called “Ladder Exchange”. The council’s environmental


health officer, Julie Whitwell, said: “Many accidents are caused by people using the wrong or broken ladders and the need to maintain high standards for workplace


equipment cannot be emphasised enough. “Ladder Exchange gives small


businesses the opportunity 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.”


. Seven workers died and a fur­ ther 1,000 were injured in the UK last year as a result of a fall from height in the workplace. Gary Massey, shop floor manager at Dawson’s Department Store, said: “We are delighted to support any initiative aimed at making the workplace safer.” Ribble Valley Borough Coun­


cil’s environmental health 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 prosecute anyme who is putting the lives of their workers at risk,” added Julie. • To ensure your ladder is up to


scratch, check for the following: Bent, broken or missing ruh^, rot or rust, loose rivets, split or bent stiles, paint or chemical splashes, missing or damaged feet and/or extension bars. Commercial grade ladders,


podiums and work platforms are available at discounts of up to


-50% a t Dawson’s Department Store in King Street, Clitheroe. Take your old ladders to the Level B reception at the Council Offices in Church Walk, Clitheroe, and ask for a member of the environ­ mental health team, who will exchange them for a voucher. ■
