1. Eliminate all ladders over 25 kg / 55 lb

Safety regulations are very clear on moving loads manually. The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work considers a weight of 25-30 Kg to be potentially too heavy to lift for most people (OSHA Fact Sheet 73).

2.  Classify every job at height in:
- Work up to 3 meters / 10 ft
- Work up to 6 meters / 20 ft

The biggest group of fatal accidents at work form fall accidents (for ref. see: Sonja Gawehn, Tödliche Arbeitsunfälle, 1991 – 2004. Frankfurt am Main 2007)

70 % of all ladder accidents occur up to 2.60 m / 8.53 ft (for ref. see: Gaps Analysis to NIOSH, Review of the scientific literature on injuries from falls from  and with ladders, by: Advanced Technologies and Laboratories, Inc. in Germantown, Maryland, USA)

3. Work up to 6 meters / 20 ft
with light, strong, easy handling and self-locking “telescoping ladders”

5. Eliminate Fiberglass Ladders

“Fiberglass” or “glassfibre” is material made from extremely fine fibers of glass. It is used as a reinforcing agent for polymer products. The resulting composite material, properly known as fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) or glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), in popular usage is called “fiberglass. The advantages of the products are corrosion resistant, mechanical strength, low weight, chemical resistant, electrical and thermal insulating and many others.
Unfortunately fiberglass is much more difficult to recycle than materials like wood (100 % natural and industrial recycling), aluminium (75 % industrial recycling). Crushing and granulation is one possibility but commercially non proven.. Tests have shown that it is technically possible to break down the molecule chains in uncured polyester by pyrolysis, and then reuse the resulting product as new polyester raw materials. However, pyrolysis is not currently financially viable.

- Global production of fiberglass 2007 4.2 million tons, demand 4.5 million tons, prospects 2010 5.68 million tons
- China is the key driver (38.1 %) of global production in 2007

Benefits of Rationalization

1. Telescoping ladders and ergonomic ladders  are available in Europe since 1975, in America since 1990,  in Asia since 2002
2. Better purchasing and administration thanks to standardized products
3. Inexpensive maintenance
4. In field parts and repair service
5. Reliable and better risk assessment and job-control
6. Benefits N°2-5 occur for standard works at height, for electrical works at height, for works at height in white -, clean and HACCP ambient
7. Programmable control of accidents and injuries
8. 100 % recycling

…The support rails are made of aluminum, the shelves -  wood. My only gripe are those giant circular discs. They look a bit unsightly. It’s all just concept now but I’m sure sooner or later, IKEA will catch on and release something similar…

Ohne Holmverlängerung:
-    Es genügt, die Holmverlängerung nur einmal nicht ausreichend zu fixieren…

Ohne Fuss-Spitzen oder „Erdspitzen“
-    Auf weichem Untergrund versinken Sie „mit Spitze und Kragen“…

Ohne Einhängbare Plattform
-    verhindert sicheres Auf- und Absteigen;
-    die Fussbedienung der Plattform ist eher etwas für Seilkünstler

Ohne Wandabstandhalter Mit Metall-Ablagegitter
-    es genügt, den Wandabstandhalter nur einmal nicht ausreichend zu fixieren…
-    das Einholen der Leiter mit montiertem Wandabstandhalter gelingt nicht jedem…

Ohne Werkzeugtasche
-    je mehr Werkzeuge Sie mit nach oben nehmen, desto mehr Werkzeuge fallen irgendwann auch herunter („Murphy’s law“ : „Alles, was schief gehen kann, wird auch schief gehen.“ („Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.“ )
-    in der Höhe vergessene  Werkzeuge sind noch gefährlicher als herunterfallende  Werkzeuge…

Ohne Traverse oder Combi-Traverse
-    eine Traverse erschwert die Handhabung der Leiter
-    sind Sie schon einmal über eine Traverse gestolpert…?

Ohne Aufsteck-Leiter
-    Jeder Aufstieg wird zu einem  „Ausstieg aus dem Gleichgewicht“!

Dank dieser einmaligen Eigenschaften bieten SKYLAX  HACCP – steiggeraete eine dauerhafte Loesung in den meisten Bereichen mit  hoechsten Hygiene Anspruechen. Mehr dazu: HACCP – Steiggeräte
