Zero Gravity Safety had the priveledge of hosting a Symposium, highlighting the different types of rescues performed when someone requires rescueing from height. 

Checking a ladder for safety before use is crucial to prevent accidents and ensure a safe working environment. Here’s a step-by-step guide on what to look for:

The Ladder Association‘s latest surveillance report highlights a concerning trend of selling unsafe ladders to unsuspecting British consumers online. The Association’s ongoing safety campaign, ‘Step Up to Safe Ladders,’ has highlighted the dangers of poor-quality telescopic and multipurpose ladders. Despite alarming failure rates, the government has yet to take action. The Association calls for urgent regulatory changes to hold suppliers and online platforms accountable for consumer safety. We commend the Office for Product Safety and Standards’s recent launch of the Product Safety Review and support the Ladder Association’s efforts to contribute evidence towards addressing this pressing issue. Stay safe and informed when purchasing ladders.

Ladders are versatile tools that play a crucial role in a number of work environments, enabling individuals to safely access elevated areas and carry out work at height. Whether on construction sites, in retail settings, or any of the below listed scenarios, proper ladder usage is of utmost importance to prevent accidents and ensure worker safety.

EN131 Standard for Portable Steps and Ladders 

Whilst BS2037 and BS1129 have now been withdrawn, ladders originally made to these British Standards prior to their withdrawal may still be used, as long as they are still fit for purpose, i.e. still in good condition, not worn or damaged, and appropriate for the task in question.

Blackline Safety Corp. (TSX: BLN), a global leader in connected safety technology, today announced it is adding new features to its G7 EXO portable area gas monitor.  

Designed with quick, drop-and-go deployment and built-in cellular and satellite connectivity, the G7 EXO provides real-time data on the area it is monitoring. The device sounds alarms both on the device itself and in the company’s monitoring software, Blackline Live, when it detects gas—protecting both people and the environment from hazardous situations. 

Blackline Safety Corp. (TSX: BLN), a global leader in connected safety technology, today announced a significant upgrade to its G6 single-gas detector, adding new features and service plans to the life-saving wearable device. 

G6 now features the same real-time connectivity as the company’s G7 product line. Additional new features include an emergency SOS that workers can trigger in critical situations to get help, and an expanded suite of data and reporting analytics. The company has introduced two new service plans—Protect and Protect Plus, starting at £8 per month—which bundle new features to fit within any safety programme. 

Ultimately, health and safety in the workplace is everyone’s responsibility; employers have primary duty to ensure all health and safety requirements are met, however, all employees play a crucial role in this.

If you operate ladders or stepladders for work purposes, its your legal duty to ensure they are suitable and safe for work and to conduct statutory and pre use inspections of them as required.
