Antistatic Ladders and Stairs

Tuesday, May 24th, 2005

ENGLISH - Original Language Electrostatic charges and their discharge (ESD) present severe risks to the life of electronic equipment in general, and to semiconductor components in particular. These risks are present where components, circuit boards or other unprotected parts are handled, transported, stored, manufactured or tested. ESD also creates a risk of ignition of explosive gases, powders, a.o. in infinite industrial, civil and military fields. Individuals and objects can become electrostatically or triboelectrically charged moving across a floor, down a stairway or up a ladder.
Skylax foldable stairways JumboStep and KingStep are the first professional stepladders with controlled electrostatic discharge (ESD). They come in 8 different models for works in EPA environments up to 3 meters. For further details please contact COMPLETE RATE, Mr.  Andrea Catellono, Milan.

Ladder Dude

Friday, April 1st, 2005

ENGLISH - Original Language The American Ladder Institute (ALI) is proud to offer its ladder safety teaching unit, “Ladder Dude,” free of charge.
ALI’s revised “Ladder Dude” kit includes five ladder safety lesson plans, flash cards and stickers for children. Furthermore, the kit includes a kid friendly exam to test their knowledge about ladder safety. The “Ladder Dude” mascot is sure to bring fun and laughter to any classroom, while educating children about the importance of safety. The revisions of this kit were based on feedback from teaching instructors and input from ALI’s current members. Ladder safety is a legitimate concern and should be a teaching priority with children. Each child will grow to use ladders in the home, workplace, outdoors, etc. For this reason, ladder safety should be promoted at an early age. “Ladder Dude” is a worthwhile instructional kit that emphasizes the importance of correct ladder use, and would be perfect for your child’s school library or neighborhood day care. The American Ladder Institute was founded in 1947 and represents North American ladder manufacturers and is committed to the highest standards of ladder safety. ALI’s mission is to educate the public as to the selection, care, and safe use of ladders and develop and disseminate the appropriate standards for design, construction, testing, care and use of ladders.
