Introduction

Hey Guys, Do know the right time to replace your ladder? It is very common for us to hear stories from our customers which lead them to decide to change their ladder – from a faithful wooden companion which has no rubber feet and is well over 40 years old to actual ladder breakdowns caused by incorrect usage such as a DIY ladder being used for trade purposes. Many of our customers have been incorrectly advised or had no advice at all when they brought their ladder so often we’ve found their ladder they have been using was unsuitable for the purpose used for.

Hello Everyone, Have you ever thought about safety when it comes to Scaffold Towers? Scaffold towers are the ideal solution to working at height and are a useful alternative to a ladder. You are able to work freely with your materials and tools without balancing dangerously on a ladder. By now you are probably guessing that scaffold towers are deigned for larger jobs. Indeed they are designed for jobs such as painting, access to a large area of work such as stairwells and are suitable for indoor and outdoor use. The added advantages of scaffold towers is that they do not need to be re-positioned often. The risk of slipping is also eliminated. No matter now well a ladder is positioned, there is always risk of slipping.

Hi Everyone, Are you using your ladder correctly? Do I need a ladder? this is the question to ask yourself every time you have to work at height. Ladders are involved in more falls from height than any other kind of work equipment. Usually the accident could have been avoided. Rather than reach out for a ladder, take a few steps to consider how to complete the job in the safest way.

Hi Guys, This ladder looks cool, but I certainly wouldn't like to be the one going up it... This image will be familiar to fans of Harry Potter’s Order of the Phoenix where the image of the snarling caretaker Argus Filch climbing a teetering 100 foot stepladder to nail the Orwellian Proclamations to a stone wall is repeated quite often throughout the film. Perhaps a good lesson to us all – not to repeat what we see! Unfortunately there will be no potentially powerful wizard who comes to our aid to make things all good again!

Hi Guys, We couldn't help but share this amusing video with you all... There is a reason why cats have nine lives as demonstrated by this amusing video! For all animal lovers out there, no cats were harmed during the making of this video clip. Cats, being the inquisitive creatures they are, had to try and defy gravity and show us there is no need for a loft ladder…..you simply leave the loft like this…… Watch here:  https://www.laddersandscaffoldtowers.co.uk/blog/loft-ladders/cats-use-one-of-their-nine-lives-on-a-loft-ladder/ This has been shared on Medium:  https://medium.com/@marketing.bpsaccesssolutions/cats-use-one-of-their-nine-lives-on-a-loft-ladder-685a43037791 We have also shared this link on WordPress:  https://bpsaccesssolutions.home.blog/2019/02/26/cats-use-one-of-their-nine-lives-on-a-loft-ladder/

Hey Guys, Have you made sure that your scaffold tower meets safety standards? It is your peace of mind that our products have been tested and inspected to meet a high standard of safety. BSI is the number one certification body in the UK and the US. BS EN 1004 looks at the design of mobile scaffolds and tower scaffolds made of prefabricated parts. It also discusses safety and performance requirements and shares additional information on complete towers. To ensure your safety and that of your employees, it makes sense to ensure that the scaffold tower you purchase is suitable for your needs and you are not putting anyone at unnecessary risk.

Hey Guys, We value our customers, and that's why we want to make life easier for each and every one of you. We’ve all been there – spending hours googling a product we desperately need, the latest must have product or the product that is not available on the high street! Only to find it is either out of stock too on the internet or the delivery times are too far ahead – and you need the product tomorrow! It also astounds me how long it can actually take to source the right product – I spent a whole afternoon a couple of weeks ago sourcing an item I needed urgently only to find the delivery time scales were just too far ahead…..unless I was willing to pay an extortionate price – which I personally believe is a hugely unfair levy on a paying customer.

Hey Everyone, What do you already know about Podium Steps? Whether working alone at home or as part of a team in the workplace, any work performed at height comes with a variety of risks which are difficult to eliminate with simpler ladders or stepladders. For the individual working alone in private premises, the outcome of a fall from height especially while using tools  can be debilitating if not fatal with no one to raise the alarm. The only way to truly reduce the risk as much as possible is to use the most stable and strong equipment such as a set of podium steps.   Find the rest of this blog here:  https://www.laddersandscaffoldtowers.co.uk/blog/podiums/why-are-podium-steps-the-preferred-choice-of-safety-officers/ We have shared this on Medium:  https://medium.com/@marketing.bpsaccesssolutions/why-are-podium-steps-the-preferred-choice-of-safety-officers-cddf382b0183 This can also be found on WordPress:  https://bpsaccesssolutions.home.blog/201...

Hi Everyone, We wanted to share with you a bit more about a ladder, so we published this blog to give you more of an understanding about the different classes and ratings. Not everyone is an expert on ladders and not everyone has a large vehicle and garage to store a ladder in either. Gone are the days when ladders were basic structures – with the one size fitted all approach. Then there was the danger factor to consider too. Thankfully, nowadays non slip feet, safety platforms and integral stabilizers are fitted as standard to ensure your safety. So where should you start if you are a ‘ladder novice’? The first thing you should ensure when buying any ladder is that it meets the required safety  standard.  In the UK there are 3 classification levels for aluminium ladders and step ladders. These are determined by the type of work that they will be used for, with all 3 classifications being within the scope of BS 2037. Read more about this topic here:  https:...

Hey Guys, We have just come across this blog all about how to install a sliding loft ladder and thought it would be a good idea to share with you all again! There are a few things to bear in mind before you begin to install your new ladder. Avoid rookie errors such as ensuring there is enough space within your loft to fold the ladder when not in use, ensuring that you have an additional ladder to use whilst installing your loft ladder and ensuring that the ground area where the ladder is pulled down to is suitable. Remember loft ladders are only designed for use at home and should not be considered to be a permanent staircase. It should be treated as any other ladder when in use and should not be used by pets or anyone under the age of 16.

Hi Guys, For safety purposes, it is always important to use a ladder which is suitable for the job you need to do. Therefore, we have created this blog to help you understand what size ladder you might need. A popular question we get asked often in our customer services department is how to work out the right size of extension ladder. Identifying the correct size of extension ladder is a relatively straight forward task. Putting that aside, however, it is still imperative that the right size of extension ladder is used in order to avoid ladder trips, slips and falls.

Hey Guys, Do you know how to build a scaffold tower? While many smaller scale home repair or improvement jobs require nothing bigger than a ladder or podium steps, for a larger  or more  time consuming  job a scaffolding tower is the ideal choice for both safety and convenience. For example, outdoor domestic repairs that require working at height, large painting or decorating jobs, pruning tall trees in the garden and many similar jobs  would be far more tiring, inconvenient and dangerous without the use of scaffolding.  The use of a static scaffold  tower  gives a far more stable work area and a greatly increased reach to complete the job in a far shorter  space of time   with less need to move and reposition. The increased space also allows the user to keep tools and materials to hand without having to climb up and down each time something new is required.   Read more here:  https://www.laddersandscaffoldtowers.co.uk/blo...

Hey Guys, Do you know how you can maximise storage space with a loft ladder? Lack of storage space is a problem encountered by many homeowners for a variety of reasons, for example the size of the house itself, a new or expanding family or the expense and inconvenience of hiring professionals to expand the existing footprint of their home. However, there is an easy answer to this that many homeowners overlook  despite its potential .

Hey Guys,  A ladder is something we all pretty much take for granted nowadays with one in almost every garage. How often does it cross your mind where the invention came from? They started out as wobbly structures made of grass! Ladders are ancient tools and technology. A ladder is depicted in a Mesolithic rock painting that is at least 10,000 years old, depicted in the Spider Caves in Valencia, Spain. References the rock painting which shows two naked humans carrying baskets or bags that are employing a long wobbly ladder, which appears to be made out of some kind of grass, to reach a wild honeybee nest to harvest honey. Modern ladders are believed to have been conceived by Hebrews and Egyptians.

Hey Everyone, Don’t become a ladder statistic! With the right knowledge, a ladder is an indispensable tool for all manner of DIY, trade and industrial jobs. The incorrect usage of a ladder can lead to nasty accidents and unfortunately can cause serious accidents or even death. With Spring on it’s way, it is traditional for Spring cleaning to begin in homes across the country. The brightness of the sun can show up all manner of things that need attention that the darkness of Winter has covered up. From cobwebs in high corners, to drab looking paint, Spring cleaning nearly always ends up with a list of DIY tasks. Of course outside is no different. At this time of year, bushes and hedges are showing signs of life and the Winter growth can now be safely cut back. In the same way you take care with gardening equipment, you need to take care when using ladders outside.

As any good trades person knows, there is a lot of documented evidence available to best explain how to carry out work safely at height. A particular focus on working at height is the safe use of ladders and scaffold towers. Of course, used incorrectly, ladders can be amongst the most dangerous piece of equipment and used incorrectly can lead to death or serious injury. Unfortunately a recent prosecution by the Health and Safety Executive involved dangerous use of both a ladder and a scaffold tower which tragically lead to the death of a labourer from South East London.

Hey Everyone How do you know if you're using your ladder correctly? With light nights and warmer weather upon us, we are urging people to be careful in the use of ladders. Barmy Summer nights brings out ladder users in their droves – and with them the less experienced ladder users. Using a ladder might seem simple enough, however a lot can go wrong before you even start using it. Before you even move the ladder from it’s storage place, make sure you are confident in using it. If you are not confident, do not use a ladder.

Hey Guys, You may be thinking 'Who needs aluminium ladder?'... It goes without saying we all do! Of course we all know that aluminium is the staple material for ladders unless you work around electricity in which case you may well use a fibreglass ladder. Wooden ladders are now firmly in the past – or so we thought until we spotted this relic on the internet – apparently spotted in Lithuania. Here it seems that wood and nails are not wasted and are constructed into ladders such as this! Whilst the picture might look quaint with a nice feeling of mountains and chalets to it, the message behind it is quite dangerous.

Hey Guys, How often do you see ladders used incorrectly? Another week and another opportunity for the eagle eyed amongst us to spot another flout of Health and Safety guidelines. This week sees us in a UK town where the back of a pick up truck is being used to place a ladder in order to gain additional height. Of course, ladders should always be placed on a reliable surface before using them. This is for obvious reasons such as slipping or the ground itself not suitable to place a ladder such as a small area such as a porch roof.

Hi Guys, What do you already know about the ladder? Did you know that ladders were invented Mesolithic period, about 10,000 years ago? Cave paintings found in Valencia, Spain depict two people carrying baskets or bags. They’re using a long ladder to access a wild honeybee nest and raid it for its precious content of honey.

If you work with Scaffold Towers, then we recommend reading our blog. It may come as no surprise to learn that yet again falls from height continue to result in life changing or fatal injuries in the workplace. In June 2018 The Health and Safety Executive report that Jhanade Ryan slipped on a roof, sliding down to the edge protection. The toe board of the edge protection snapped and he fell through the scaffold, landing on a sub-station flat roof. He sustained a fracture to his spine, a broken coccyx and nerve damage. Mr Ryan was in hospital for almost three months and is now unable to work due to ongoing mobility issues.
