Ladders of any type must NOT be used for any type of work with Immediate effect! The use of ladders and step ladders is strictly prohibited on all Arabtec Projects and in all Arabtec Premises (including use by sub-contractors). They are an unacceptable and easily avoidable safety risk. Risk Management principles require that “all practicable means” and measures are taken to eliminate risks and this is a practicable means. All ladders and step ladders currently in use, or when detected on site, must be removed from the site and replaced with Podium Step Platforms.
