Republic (Retail) Ltd, a leading multi-branded fashion retailer, needed to find the most suitable steps for its retail stores as well as a simple and highly visible asset management system.

We all (should) know that the safe working angle for a leaning ladder is 70-75 degrees but did you know that most manufacturer's labels have a thick, straight line through them called the 'Vertical Line indicator' that should be plumb when the ladders are set at the correct working angle. Posher ladders may come with a 'pyramid' or similar angle indicator but these days there really is no excuse for not getting it right. (Ps a Pyramid is a triangle usually slotted into one of the rungs with a tiny metal ball in it. When the ball is in the centre of the triangle the ladders are at the right angle).

It might seem obvious but there is a basic level of skill and knowledge that an HSE or Local Authority Inspector would expect people in your workplace to have if they used a ladder in their day to day work. Meet this level of training and not only can you rest assured that you have fulfilled your obligation to the welfare and safety of your staff, but in doing so you might even save a life – no mean achievement.
