one of my employers fell from a ladder today. we are complete waterfed but a customer asked him for a favour. to climb up the ladder and unhook a flower box. my lad being nice said no problem. climbed up and ladder slipped out. he is now in frimley park hospital with a neck brace on tied to the bed and not aloud to move and a broken wrist. waiting on results to see how bad it is. i have now thrown the ladder away and will never by another one.

Mad to think about it that I was working alone before and used to use my bucket as a ladder stop

Hope he is back to work soon.

Wish i had a pound for all the customers who have asked me to jobs like that.

You know what i mean..
 
Oh could you just check if my gutters blocked.
Is that a bird nest behind my Sky dish.
Can you get my sons football.
Is there a tile mising.
Could you push the window shut tight as it wont close properly from inside.

should of had someone footing it its getting slipy ever were out there

[Adam Boss]

It's not the ladder, it's the user who was at fault. I know you don't want to hear that but it's a fact !. Ladders are fine if used correctly.
Hope he makes a full recovery soon.

[Ian W]

You are right, it is getting slippery out there. I work alone and have safety feet fitted to the ladder, use a sandbag or peg the feet if necessary, and still miss out a couple of windows because it is unsafe.

Wet decking is the worst surface...nearly come a cropper a few times.

yes ladders are great .
just dont take them out the box

[Pole2pole]

There's alot to be said for just talkin them off our vans FOREVER. If we don't get a job, we dont get a job. But we would all know that from this day onwards, we're all gonna be safe as houses. If custys ask,just say they got nicked and you use them so seldomly, it aint worth partin with £100 to get a new one. Just a thought
