Ladders are an important and common piece of equipment that many of us use daily. While simple in concept and design, using a ladder comes with an element of risk.
Ladder falls are a very common reason why people end up in hospital. Don’t make the same mistake as Santa! Make sure you maintain three points of contact, and don’t overreach!

We’ve prepared a short guide to choosing, setting up and climbing a ladder. While most of this is common sense, it might be worthwhile brushing up on some of these ladder safety tips – especially if you are about to embark on a Christmas light roof installation!

The Victorian Building Authority regularly conducts compliance checks on roof drainage systems, and during these inspections have reported that – in some instances – the work they check is not compliant with Australian Standards.

We’ve had a few questions from customers recently about current regulations so we have prepared a list of requirements for you to consider when specifying your box gutters. This document draws on the most recent VBA guidelines, and is for roofers, plumber and builders who are designing drainage systems.

The guidelines specify requirements in relation to:

  • gradient
  • support systems
  • outlets
  • overflow
  • layout

We hope that this can be a useful resource for you when planning your next roofing project.
