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.

Saubere Leitern und Tritte
November 26th, 2008
Leitern in Büros, Supermärkten und Zuhause sind meist schmutzig und abstossend. Vor allem die Stufen sind in der Regel Sammelstellen für jede Art Schmutz.
SKYLAX klappbare Sicherheitstreppen setzen einen neuen Standard für Sauberkeit von Leitern und Tritten:
- Metallteile ohne schmutzigen Abrieb durch eloxiertes Aluminium.
- Neue Stufenbeläge mit dauerhafter Abwehr von Wasser, Benzin, Maschinenöl, Fett, Phenol etc. durch „geschlossene Zellen“. Bei Stufenbelägen aus Material mit „offenen Zellen“ wie z.B. PVC, PPR und ABS setzt sich der Schmutz nach und nach unlösbar und dauerhaft in den Zellen fest.
- Zum Reinigen der neuen Stufenbeläge genügt einfaches Wasser ohne Umweltbelastende chemische Lösungsmittel.

Attention:

- China as the key driver (38.1 %) of global production in 2007
- Fiberglass is not recyclable (1) Crushing and granulation is one possibility but commercially non proven. (2) 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.

Mark Rosenberg:
There are various reasons why so many falls occur. As you age, you are more likely to be diagnosed with conditions that cause balance problems. Here are some of the most common health problems that effect balance:
1) Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) – More likely to occur in people over 60, BPPV causes a brief, but intense spinning sensation when you move your head. The vertigo is most pronounced when you get out of bed or tilt your head to look up. This is caused by calcium stones in the inner ear, which may be the result of an infection, injury or aging.
2) Labyrinthitis – This inflammation of the inner ear results in dizziness and loss of balance. It affects the labyrinth, or the organ that controls balance.
3) Ménière’s Disease- While the cause is unknown, Ménière’s can occur at any age. It is a balance disorder resulting in vertigo, intermittent hearing loss, ringing in the ears, and a feeling of fullness in the ears.
4) Medication – Blood pressure medications are often the source of balance problems. A class of drugs known as “ototoxic” have the side effect of damaging the inner ear, therefore effecting balance.
5) Stroke – This disease of the circulatory system not only causes falls in some cases, but can also be the source of balance problems.
