[Mr.G]

so the eu are saying we mustn't use ladders? well as far as i'm concerned they can shove their regulations, i intend to ignore the foreign beaurocrat scumbags. anyone else feel the same way?

mr g:I use wfp sometimes ladders but having fell 16 ft head first into a yorkshire stone wall, and survived back at work next day.

Let me assure you its all right while your falling its when you hit the hard stuff at the bottom it hurts.

2002/03 70 deaths from falls at height 30% window cleaners
over 4000 serious injuries take it 30% w/cs

I have a mate who works as a  trauma nurse,come and listen to some of his stories about window cleaners and their injuries. I THINK IT WOULD CHANGE YOUR MIND.
I BET YOU HAVENT GOT PUBLIC LIABILITY AS WELL.
IF YOU HAVE YOU HAVENT, IF YOU HAVE AN ACCIDDENT WORKING THE WAY YOU ARE WORKING.
Sorry pal to press home these facts and I hope you dont have an accident,but is only a matter of time,got to have a couple of falls to learn the meaning of h/s.

There not saying that at all.
I still use ladders for some jobs and fitted some non-slip articulated feet to them.
As far as i am concerned that is a ladder safety device so should be ok to use.

paul why do you use ladders for some jobs i take it you have wfp.

[pjulk]

I do have WFP and it's very few jobs that i use ladders for but i have the odd one or two that are just not really WFP compatible and is far quicker with the ladders.
I would drop them but they pay well.
