Point ladder could slip off that as there isn't enough width on the post for it to safely stay on there, one little move while up there could cause it go move and slip.

They are worse than the pointed ladders to use!Normal open ended ladder, been up one today with no
problems.
So how do you safely rest an open top ladder up against a lamp post? When your not ment to lean then on there in the first place!Lol, I know how to use a ladder I'm not gonna rest it on the rung. Give me some credit please.
Would this be ok?

If you look at the picture you will see two parts that are horizontal from the main post, that's where the ladder rests. The porter who has to change the bulbs is up there at least once a fortnight, now unless he can fly, I'm guessing he uses a ladder.
a point ladder would be perfectly safe on a lamp post, trust me i use one everyday and i know the capabilities of where i could and couldnt use it safely, have you even used a point ladder regularly?Point ladder could slip off that as there isn't enough width on the post for it to safely stay on there, one little move while up there could cause it go move and slip.
I have used them but not on a daily basis, ladders in the eyes of the hse are the last on the list of choices of equipment to be used on them. There isn't enough surface space for these to be used safety.a point ladder would be perfectly safe on a lamp post, trust me i use one everyday and i know the capabilities of where i could and couldnt use it safely, have you even used a point ladder regularly?
Did you read the quote I put up from the hse regarding working on lamp posts earlier on this topic?they are the most appropriate form of access for this work, and again, they would be safe here, there is plenty of width for the top block, and once the topblock and both feet are placed properly there would be no movement, if you were worried you could lash the top of the point ladder to the post but its not really needed.
honestly rc, i think your wrong on this, from someone who uses a point ladder everyday, i think i know there limitations better then you would
lolyou could always use H vikan easyshine pads lol
i'll answer that later as im out at the minute and only on phone.yh i read it, and a ladder is still the most appropriate form of access, when considering all of the above, ie, short duration and disproportionate cost of towers etc,
a ladder, particularly a point ladder, and especially if its tied/lashed is safe and consistent with regs
how would you suggest to clean it then?
