I'll putting together our Site Rules for 2017 and trying to find a good image which conveys the dos and donts of ladder use. The ones which I finding online aren't great or great res. I am wondering if anyone has anything they could share with me.

I was hoping for a single graphic.
I use the HSE ones in tool-boxes and training sessions.

Type 'safe ladder use' in to your search engine and several annotated images should appear. I have used a couple of them to good effect.

Andrew I tried to send you something but it seems the recent update has limited private messages - I couldnt send any until I deleted my entire list of old mails (over 200 between my inbox and sent items). Having got rid of them to send you it, it says yours is over the limit too now lol.
If you can be bothered figuring out how to send me a PM with your contact email/postal address I''ll be happy to send you some images and posters to use free of charge lol. Can't beat a good old website update that makes life harder for you to use it.

Here's one to interest people.
Firefighters "take a leg lock" to allow hands free for firefighting from a ladder.

And another just to prove it is safe when done properley.
Unfortunately the hook ladders were withdrawn from service around 1974.

Very funny with the youtube
The chap in the video does not appear to be using a leg lock. He seems at one point to have one leg out in thin air and both hands on a ladder being passed up. I would say he has something at waste height cliping him to the ladder.

Chris, apologies I seem to have confused you with my words.
Taking the leg lock is on a more traditional ladder however it is impossible with hook ladders as there is no space between ladder and wall.
You are exactly right about something a waist height, it is a Hook Belt. Made of webbing and attached to the belt is a Hook to attach to a metal ring at the top of the hook ladder. This enables complete hands free to get another hook ladder either up or down to another level.
Two man hook ladder drill was a sight to behold.
Believe it or not there were many successful rescues carried out using hook ladders as they could access the smallest of areas mainly to the rear of buildings.
Unfortunately health and safety saw the end of the hook ladder for obvious reasons.
