The Ladder Exchange
[ch 7: page 119]The Ladder Exchange scheme enables people and businesses across the UK to trade their old ladders in for discounted new ones. The scheme this year begins on 1 September 2014 and runs to the end of the year. It is run by industry body the Ladder Association and takes old, potentially dangerous ladders out of circulation by offering people a cash incentive to trade them in.
The HSE estimates that around two million people work on ladders daily in the UK. Further information at: www.ladderexchange.org.uk
