Guidance published
December 1st 2004

Working from height continues to be a major cause of accidents, resulting in about 15% of reportable accidents to electricians.

To tackle the problem and take account of the forthcoming Work at Height Regulations, the Electrical Contractors’ Association (ECA) has published guidance that examines alternatives to using stepladders and helps companies to work with new legislation.

The new guidance Practical Alternatives to Using Stepladders is available in two-parts and continues the ECA’s ongoing ZAP (zero accident potential) safety initiative.

Part one outlines the key requirements of the WAH rules, due for implementation in early 2005. It underlines that WAH does not ban the use of stepladders outright.

It covers: planning; risk assessment; competency and training; the potential choice of temporary access equipment and advice on use of steps should they still be the preferred means of access. Part two has further information on alternatives to ladders, such as towers, podiums or mobile platforms.
