i'm new to the game and was wondering if anyone could advise me on what they do when the ground is slippery or frosty etc. what do you use to stop your ladder feet from slipping? i'm only doing residential work at present but i don't want to come a cropper when i'm high up on the ladder. any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Craig,
           You can get something called a Rojak stopper from the NFMWGC and i think they are about £33 + vat which makes it a bit safer but if i had the slightest doubt about any surface i was putting my ladder on i would not do that window. Your life and welfare is worth more than taking any risks! Also the Federation do a video on health and safety with ladders and i would consider that a good investment.

Hope this helps ;D

best advice ,is if in doubt-dont!!!
but also as a general safety back up i use articulating rubber feet fitted to the bottom of all my  ladders  these have studded rubber feet like football boots,for extra reassurance   bought them from lansford accsess, Bristol
,also a good supplier of laddersl

When i'm using a ladder on slippy paths i put a damp cloth under the feet of the ladder. the cloth seems to suck to the floor beacause its damp and the feet of the ladder grip to the cloth.
