Asbestos Exposure and Compliance Study by Safe Work Australia
March 31st, 2010On the 15 of February 2010 Safe Work Australia (SWA) released a report titled “Asbestos Exposure and Compliance Study of Construction and Maintenance Workers“.
It found that most tradesmen were generally aware of the potential hazards and health risks of asbestos. However the level of general awareness was not accompanied by the knowledge of how to recognise asbestos or control the risks when working with it. Their practical ability to reliably identify asbestos hazards was limited.  This was generally because their identification skills were insufficient, asbestos registers were often absent or inaccurate and few premises had labelling of materials or areas containing asbestos. For more information and to read the report click on the link above.
Allens Now Stocks Ladders!
March 24th, 2010We have just received our first shipment of Ladders!
Â
We have A-Frame and Double-Sided Aluminum and Fibreglass Ladders available in 3 different heights. Check them out in our On-Line store or come and see us In-Store. Feel free to contact us by phone or email if you have any further questions.
Here is some information thanks to Gorilla Ladders which might make your selection easier:
Aluminium or Fibreglass?
As a general rule, fibreglass ladders are recommended and in most cases mandatory when working in a electrical environment. A fibrelass ladder provides isolation between the user and earth, reducing (but not eliminating) the risk of electrocution.
Aluminium ladders provide little electrical isolation for users, and are therefore not recommended for use in electrical environments. Aluminium ladders are lighter than fibreglass, and are perfect for use in all non-electrical environments.
Height Selection?
Step Ladder
Choose a ladder 0.6m shorter than the height you wish to reach
Some examples:
Height to reach    Ladder Height
1.8m                       1.2m Ladder
2.4m                       1.8m Ladder
3.0m                       2.4m Ladder
