Discover the latest developments in work at height
According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), approximately 609,000 cases of reportable work-related accidents occur in the UK each year. Thankfully, fatal injuries at work are very rare, but the most common cause is falls from height (28%). These accidents often involve ladders, yet this number could be lower if companies take action to reduce the risks and ensure compliance with the latest safety standards.
To address this problem, the European Committee for Standardisation published the standards EN 131-1 and 2 with the intention of reducing ladder-related incidents.
ZARGES were the first major ladder manufacturer to introduce ladders that meet the new standard and are delighted to be showcasing a selection of our products at the show in the NEC.
As well complying with EN 131 Professional, many of our new products have been designed with unique features that make them ideally suited to a number of specialist applications.
These include:
- R13 stepladder with special non-slip treads for oily or wet conditions
- 250 kg rated Megastep with its distinctive black, anodised stiles
- Skymaster X with up to 6 applications in 1 ladder
- Telescopic ZAP platform ladder for use at multiple heights
- Modular industrial stairs and platforms with its unique online configurator
