i think ladders are very usefull and if people want to use them to clean windows,i say thats upto them.
 At the end of the day we live in a very dangerous world where nasty horrible things happen,you only have to be in the wrong place at the wrong time,if we worried about every little thing we would lock ourselves in our houses!

Anymore deaths then I think the H&S will issue licence type cards for tradesmen that use ladder on a daily basis. a bit like a forklift licence, theory and the practical test.

I think the trouble is lack of enforcement and ladders not being secured as the law stipulates. Even after another death, that was preventable, and would not happen if they abided by the law. a local w/c near me has been told 3 times about the law & securing ladders, and hes a JW elder where we all belive life is sacred, and what did he do, yes, youve guessed it, stick yellow/black warning tape down the side of his wooden ladders

No they should not be banned its the person using them at fault most of the time, some times accidents happen thats life, i have heard of people falling from step ladders and dying and dont forget the many people who fall down the stairs every week and die a a result will the be baned dont think so i have never came off a ladder but broke my foot when i tripped cleaning down stairs windows wfp is just as dangerous in the wrong hands, also why do we keep getting threads like this same people same views

I think the current restrictions are more than enough. Simple clarification and enforcement of what we already have is what is needed.

And contrary to popular opinion, the restrictions are law, not just guidelines.
