Default safety violation
Started a project on a new site yesterday and got a safety write up this morning because one of our 10 ladders was missing the load rating sticker. It was actually still there, but the writing was wore off. I think we're under a microscope..

Really?

Is there some place you can buy ladder stickers?

And what will stop someone from peeling them off.?

I think the safety guy needs to go visit his gynecologist.

We've gotten them from just about ever ladder manufacturer. You can probably even buy them online now a days.


It's stupid, but all you can do it mark the price of the replacement label kits up a few hundred % and stick it to the client.

That's standard practice on the job I'm on now. You have to be ladder certified with a ladder check sheet and a ladder tag like a scaffold tag. Waste of time. But never mind the guy over there grinding the steel with out a face shield.

He does! Just b/c you were missing a sticker wait you weren't it was just worn down. All they are looking for is money! But warning isn't that bad.
