Had the same bother on a couple of the sites i was running at my last firm, ended up having to make i note on the scaffold register that the ladders had been inspected as part of the weekly scaffold inspection, when we first handed the job over i had to give the client a ladder register with every number of every ladder on the job. This was then put on file and used to check the weekly inspection report against to make sure the ladders had been checked. All our ladders had individual tags and numbers put on them in the yard, because we'd got pulled once by another client that wanted to know if the ladders were checked in the yard. obviously told that they were and he came back with , 'prove it'!! So we tagged every ladder that we had and any new ladders that were bought, i shi7 you not we had thousands!!! We then had to implement a recorded inspection regime in the yard, as if the yard manager didn't have enough to do!!! The joys of working with MCG companies. sometimes think that the health and safety pri.... some officers, have nothing better to do than think of new ways to make their department more unique than their rivals,just to use it when they're trying to clinch the deal!!
