Window Cleaning - Traditional and Ladders
Ladders
J.V. Price Ltd use ladders in situations where other means
of access or WFP are not suitable. For example, low level windows, tight access
situations and inside buildings. When carrying out works from ladders, operatives
work with "Buckets on a belt" making it possible to keep three points of contact
with the ladder at all times. All ladders are fitted with anti slip devices, or
footed by another operative.
All operatives are trained in the use of pointed top ladders and follow all guide
lines in place by the Health and Safety Executive.

below:
- Pointed top fitted with white rubber block (105mm wide) and a tapered/splayed base

- Rungs of 24mm diameter serrated tube fitted through stiles at a rise of 250mm by
a special locking method to prevent turning and for increased strength
