The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has issued new guidance to help employers: know when to use a ladder; decide how to go about selecting the right sort of ladder for the particular job; understand how to use it; know how to look after it and take sensible safety precautions.
The leaflet can be downloaded from the HSE's website here: Safe Use of Ladders and Stepladders: An employers' guide
