Another New ladder law.

[Mr.G]

[tacky]

u can be rest assured that wfp sales men .ar pushing for ladder ban .not for our safety but to line their pockets . mind u im old fashion .but my backpack is on the way .  JUST IN CASE

[M & C Window Cleaning]

The 'Ladders are illegal' crowd really annoy me. Two years ago I nearly lost several custies because they believed all the hype in the media about it. I do believe WFP has to be the safer way to clean windows at hieght but I feel the choice should be ours as ladders can also be used safely if used correctly.

i ll second that M C   well said

Ladders are legal for short duration work at height, which includes window cleaning, upto a height of 6m provided some sort of stabilisation is use which can be just the rubber feet on the ladder.

Also, all you have to decide before hand is if ladders are the best way of doing the job and have a means to do the job with another method. So carry a set of extendable poles with you and at the job, decide which is best for the job being done.

That basically, is the law now.

As for who is going to enforce it, who knows? Rather like the law about using a mobile phone while driving? I still see mobiles being used while driving just as sometimes I see some of the most idiotic things being done window cleaning.

Cheers
