The old scare the customers...dont let people use ladders they will sue you if they fall ...yeah right!

alot of people seem unsure of the exact h&s rules and im one of them. i look at it this way if i can use another meathod (wfp) than i will. if a ladder is the only option after ruling everything else out then i`l climb a ladder.

No the ladder user cant sue the householder or business. They could sue their employer but doubtful. The HSE can prosecute both parties though.
However, the height restrictions seem completely made up!

If you can sue is entirely depenant upon the circumstsnces ie if the ladder should slip on concrete that could be deemed hadnt been properly maintained ie its green and slippy bthen you could sue.
This is called duty of care and thats how low life burglers sue sometimes if they have accidents on their victims property (glass in concrete on walls and stuff)

Not heard of the Occupiers Liability Act 1957/1984 then? ::)
Be careful of advice given as can often be wrong

The OLA has nothing to do with this.

if you fell from a ladder the person you was cleaning for would be the home owner/ business owner, they would be employing you to do a job would they not ?

Exactly........you've proved it............recent case law suggests otherwise!
The OLA has a lot to do with this & the wikipedia page you quote appears to confirm it.

Be careful, the example given with mossy/poorly kept concrete or whatever is dodgy because uou have a responsibility for your own H&S and the first question you would be asked in an enquiry would be, why didn't you see the danger?
