Happy New Year all.
Would anyone know where I can buy self adhesive ladder inspection labels - have tried all the usual, Greenhams, Setons, Ladders Rus etc but the only ones on the market appear to be the plastic tag systems. There is a German company that do them. . . . but not in English !
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Jayne

I was also looking for a simple self adhesive labeling system that could be written on but found them all rather expensive. I am now in discussion with a local sign company who are suggesting a digital print on to a self adhesive plastic that will allow information to written on ( inspection dates etc. ) and not be erasable. I will post the information if it is successful.

Self adhesive labels do come with draw backs I have found, We labelled up 33 operatives ladders and with dirt, wear and tear when being knocked about they did not offer what we were looking for.
There is a laddertag system from the above mentioned company (scafftag, I have purchased these products and am fairly satisfied, I am however more than satisfied with the fact that I know they will withstand the weather and wear and tear without showing damage.
I cannot pass full comment as we have only been using these since Nov 2006 and it would take a while to see how good they really are.

Thanks for the info - I think a plastic tag system may be the way forward but making sure they go on the inside of the ladder rather than the outside to minimise breakages. . . .
Maybe the self adhesive labels is be one for the Dragons Den !

They can go either side,we have had to place on outside though as they cannot fit between ladder steps, we have used cable ties to attach as screwing into ladders could potentially weaken them.

A simple cost effective solution...
Identify all ladders (serial number) operator,enter details on spread sheet.
Find a supply of coloured zip ties, work out a colour code for the period of safe use. Inspection frequency you have identified eg 3-6-9-12 months. Print off and laminate copies to indicate the length of safe period for operators reference.
By using a colour code for the start month and one for the end month you can see at a glance when it requires re inspecting. Change by year the order in which you use the colours. It does work.

Why don't you save your cash. the way British Rail managed its 'fleet' of ladders (they had several thousand around the country) was to paint a simple black panel on the side of the ladder and paint in white the details of the ladder (its number), its 'home depot' the year it entered service and its annual inspection date and who the inspector was. This system worked well for many years. I recommend adopting it its cheap and relatively fool proof also work for metal and wood ladders.

I think most ladder manufacturers produce self adhesive labels, we use ones from Titan Ladders.
Alternatively contact the British Ladder Manufacturers Association for information on where you could get them from. www.ladders-blma.co.uk
They also have approved training companies who will train your people on the correct way to inspect ladders, it's quite an enlightening course!

I agree with Alan,regarding a spreadsheet/register and identifying service period with colour coded tie raps, and i have used this simple cost effective method for some time.
Regards,
Neil
