Hi Guys,
Just wanted to check, the legislation on ladders.
i have found this on hse website:
--------------
When can ladders be used?
Ladders can be used if after assessing the risks the use of more suitable work equipment is not justified because of the low risk and short duration.
Short duration is taken to be between 15 and 30 minutes depending upon the task.
Ladders can also be used for low risk work where there are features on the site that mean a ladder must be used.
---------------
does this mean that each job should take no longer than 30 minutes, or each window? or only 30minutes of every hour etc?
I was planning on using ladders so want to make sure i get it all right!
