Ladder Association takes on Ladder Exchange

With immediate effect, the Ladder
Association, the trade body
representing the ladder industry in
the UK and Ireland, has assumed
responsibility for delivering the
annual Ladder Exchange. Since it
was first launched in 2007, it has
been responsible for removing over
10,000 broken,
bent or damaged
ladders from the
workplace with
the message
‘Don’t let a dodgy
ladder shatter
your life’.

Actively
supported by the
Ladder
Association and its members who,
throughout, have made a firm
commitment to work in partnership
with HSE and the access industry,
the Exchange has also contributed to
raising awareness and under standing
of how to use ladders and
stepladders safely. Under the
scheme, suspect ladders can be
exchanged, at a discount, at
participating partners.
