Falls from height
It's still not too late to prevent a shattered life.
It is easy to get involved. If you need to use a ladder, make sure it’s in a good working condition, safe to use and it’s the right ladder for the job. Inspection is such a crucial component of using ladders safely. Check your ladder before you use it; if it’s broken, damaged or bent then ‘Ladder Exchange’ is an opportunity to part exchange your old ladder for a new one and get a discount of up to 50%.
A number of key partners have already made a firm commitment to work in partnership with HSE this year. HSE will be working with local authority inspectors, manufacturers and retailers to help those using ladders to work safely.
