Rearding 3 point contact with a ladder when loading-out a roof with roof tiles. Is it acceptable or should we always insist on a mechanical device to assist with loading? It seems to me that the hand on the ladder is not always in effective contact. Any comment?

I think you should always insist on mechanical loading eg. from loadall, or if limited for space an incline hoist.If you have no alternative because of space or you are patching a roof, roof tilers used to carry the tiles on their heads, leaving both hands free to climb the ladder.

Roofing causes numerous bad backs so I feel that only small jobs where there is not enough work for a bumpa hoist should be loaded by hand. There is a case for the old gin wheel and rope - how much does that cost to install against the whole cost of access on a small job - not much
