Title: help getting head round H&S please
Post by: Martin ccs on February 23, 2010, 03:50:34 pm

first of all im not trying to start a wfp v trad war! - both just methods of window cleaning!

so the 2005 rules say something about expecting the trade to find alternatives to ladders and that there is a transional period for us to do so - how long is that period? been 5 years already!

do you think that ladders will be banned in the future?
do you think wc wont get insurance for ladder use in the future?

i could go on and on but i hope you get the jist of what im saying.

i thnk that u will still be able to get insurance if you are trad,  just insurance wont pay out if you fall of a ladder

more and more commercial are going no ladders, as i think they are scared of claims,
