Ladder

[helpsy]

Looking at getting possibly a 3 section ladder...what height would you go for and any accessories?

 

[helpsy]

Is it generally ok leaving your ladders on the roof of your vehicle overnight or is it a bad idea?

 

[Roger Welton]

Height depends on what sort of houses you tend to work on. I have a 12m (iirc)

Stand offs are useful

I only put them on roof when I need them as it kills fuel economy.

 

[helpsy]

How about leaving them on the van overnight?

 

[Roger Welton]

Occasionally but locked to roof rack

Of course 'Working at height' H&S rules state nothing over 2M high without a scaffolding or harness.

 

[Mike Jackson]

No they don't.

have a look at schedule 6 to prove that Mike is right

Read working at height regs 2005 amended by HSE.

Anyway back to ladders not that we would ever digress.
