Just seen two guys at the top of a ladder working on fixing a shop sign. No foot at the bottom of the ladder either, despite them having a friend at the bottom looking up doing nothing. I told them how dangerous it was, but they wouldn't have it. Absolute madness.

EVERYONE TO THERE OWN.    did they not tell you to  f----  off

untill they fall they will take no notice.       its the only way some people learn.    hopefully not life threatening

Did you tell them to use WFP ?

Why was the ladder dangerous to use?
Was it broken?
Old?
Or do you believe the monkeys over the last few years who have decided a 2000 year old plus piece of equipment is now suddenly dangerous to use?
Will my Mrs be able to use the extremely dangerous loft ladder
Or will my kids be able to use the bunk bed ladder? (what about the ladders on board ships/ferries)

A ladder like many other tools is only dangerous in the wrong hands!

As long as your wife and kids have had the proper training and have there certificates then they will be fine. Anyway i would have thought you would have got your kids a nice little scissor lift for the bunk bed.

Now there's a good idea!

Now there's a good idea!

Make sure she cones off the area when using the loft ladder.

No worries we have barrier taped off all around the outside of the house - just in case some poor visitor should come a callin unexpectedly - we wouldn't want them to be walking into danger

No I'm not, why was he legendary, can't be bothered to google.

[Darranvps]

He was/still is I assume a window cleaner from the old school in Bradford West Yorkshire
Used ladders all his working life and probably wonders what a wfp is

[dazmond]

i saw a window cleaner a few months ago who had his ladder virtually horizontal on the window sill to reach a dormer window instead of extending it over the top of the window.no footing or wall either.

yesterday i saw a window cleaner struggling to reach the top of a very large sash window from a ladder.

god these windows are so easy with wfp!SO glad im not climbing a ladder 100+times a day just to reach upper windows anymore.

i wouldnt get out of the van and tell them its dangerous though.its none of my business how they go about cleaning windows(or painting/fixing signs or whatever)
