Ladder awareness week

GLOUCESTER council is holding a meeting to warn people that ladders can be dangerous. The talk is part of National Ladders Week during which officials will also make spot checks on businesses to raise “ladder awareness”. The council said: “The most common causes of accidents include over-reaching, slipping from rungs or the ladder falling. But health and safety officers are not considering a ban on ladders in the workplace.” Derbygripe.co.uk 2/07.
