A discrete Ladder Lashing System removes the need for a second person to 'foot' the ladder and provides a stable working environment for a trades pesron to work from ladders alone.
Every year many people are killed or injured whilst using ladders. More than half of these accidents occur because ladders are not securely placed and fixed. The unexpected movement of the ladder, such as the top sliding sideways or the foot slipping outwards can cause loss of balance and a fall. Ladderlash Ladder Ties were developed to provide a secure ladder lashing system for people working at a height from ladders.
Ladderlash Ladder Ties are used to secure portable ladders to prevent slipping. They should be used wherever a ladder is the means of access to a point above first floor level. BS 8213 recommends that when ladders are used they should have a level and firm footing and the ladder should be attached using either ropes or straps to an anchor fixed to the wall. The ladders should be fixed on either side with a series of rings fixed at a distance of 3m - 5m apart. The height should be no more than 2m above ground level and should be secured at the top of the ladder when in use.
Ladderlash removes the need for any second person to 'foot' the ladder and can be easily assembled or removed providing a safe working environment at an economical price. For more information please contact us. |
