The Ladder Exchange

In 2011, the HSE’s last annual Ladder Exchange resulted in 1,270 unsafe ladders being handed in. This was the last Ladder Exchange programme run by the HSE. It is now managed by the trade body, the Ladder Association http://ladderexchange.org.uk

It also formed part of the HSE’s ‘Shattered Lives’ campaign to reduce slips, trips and falls from height in the workplace. The HSE estimates that around two million people work on ladders daily in the UK.
