Ladder Association Launches LadderCard in Ireland
The Ladder Association launched its LadderCard & Training scheme in its Irish Seminar held at the Construction Industry Federation, Dublin on Friday 9 May 2008.
The Ladder Association once again participated in the SAFETY & HEALTH EXPO, the main showcase for the Access Industry Forum (AIF), the umbrella organisation representing the principal trade bodies and associations connected with working at height.
Rather than a formal conference, the Forum opted to run the Work at Height Seminar Theatre. This gave visitors the opportunity to pick and choose the topics of immediate interest in their everyday work.
HSE SHATTERED LIVES CAMPAIGN
The Ladder Association and the HSE:
Working at Height&Working Together!
Focusing on competency and running from now until the end of March 2008, the HSE's 'Shattered Lives' campaign is intended to highlight the range of skills and knowledge that an HSE or Local Authority inspector looks for when assessing competency in the workplace.
By responding to the 'Shattered Lives' campaign you will be helping to reduce the number of tragic deaths and terrible injuries resulting from falls from height. That is why the Ladder Association is enthusiastically embracing this latest HSE initiative.
