Safety Ladders Importance

Roof Cleaning Jobs Require Safety Ladders
Do you feel unsafe when up high on ladders ? Is it because you haven’t taken the time to properly secure it ? Is your attitude “she’ll be right” ? If your answer is yes to all of these questions you need to do a total rethink. How much value do you place on your life, and do you really want to cause anxiety or grief for you family ? Laxity in safety measures has resulted in many accidents and even death. Before doing the next job that requires a ladder, visit the hardware to see what is available to make the ladder secure.
Ladders are commonly used in homes for the purpose of wall painting, gutter and roof cleaning, and repair jobs.

Not taking due care while using them has resulted in many accidents. If not balanced correctly and positioned so they are properly supported they can be a real hazard. There is also the problem of the ladder suddenly slipping sideways again causing injury. The rules that apply to construction companies may not apply to home owners, but perhaps they should. They would be wise to use ladder safety accessories for their own protection, as they are readily available. Workplace Health and Safety regulations disallow the use of ladders by any worker unless it is secured at the base or the top of the ladder to prevent it moving. Companies and homeowners can both obtain a product that ensures they are working on safety ladders.

Lock Jaw Ladder Grip is a low cost accessory for ladders that ensures the user's safety. This is an amazingly simple and easy to use way of securing ladders. It is also an Australian product and meets safety standard regulations for the workplace, so you know it will be a great item to have at home. It takes very little time to secure or undo the device and it can be used for all sorts of gutters. It acts like a clamp gripping the ladder and securing it to the gutter, preventing it moving sideways or falling backwards. This accessory should be in the toolbox of anyone who is using ladders and wants to be safe. Climbing an unsecured ladder is asking for trouble and definitely not a wise thing to do.
