HSS Hire, the British tool and equipment hire company, has announced a significant increase in the number of ladder sales, as part of a joint ladder exchange campaign with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The 2008 ladders ‘amnesty’ has seen 77% more ladders purchased than during the same time in 2007.
HSS joined forces with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for a second year running in order to remove as many ‘dodgy’ ladders from the UK’s homes and workplaces, offering to reduce the cost of a new ladder by up to 50%, in exchange for old ladders being brought into its stores. As part of its ongoing commitment to the environment, HSS also arranged for all of the old ladders to be recycled.
