Just been caught speeding

I hope they run a stepladder awareness course first.

Me too. They sound complicated and dangerous.

Sounds like a finger trapper to me!

Defo. It said they are heavy too, I'm sure that could be hazardous.

I might just risk standing on my swivel chair instead.

Stepladder awareness course, (to make sure you are aware of step ladders) followed by a course on step-ladder usage (so you know how to use the step ladder) then another on step ladder safety (so you dont get hurt using the step ladder)

Excellent.

A stepladder must be a choking hazard too.

Undoubtedly. I'll defo stick with using my chair and desk to stand on.

S'pose to be fair in the ladder respect, it's just what business have to do to prevent themselves from being sued by ******** employees.

Libertarianism in the extreme, FS. Life would be more harmonious if people accepted that you cannot influence or change evreything that affects you.

If everyone were free to decide what does and what does not constitute a danger, then we'd be in a parlous state. Everyone would drive at 60 in a 30 limit even if there weren't any schoolkids around - perhaps, to some, the fact that they were waiting out of sight behind a parked car before venturing into the road means that they aren't around. Sometimes you have to accept life and the rules that go with it, as I said up top usually the rules are there for good reason. Not always, true - there are some exceedingly crass ones - but usually rules have some good basis, no matter how hard it is to decipher.

Like using step ladders and not climbing on furniture. Sensible and appropriate, IMHO. I won't let my team climb on the furniture as if they fall off then I'll get sued. I don't want them getting injured, and I don't want to be sued.

I was being flippant

I did, however, think that it was a bit extreme to have to book the step ladder for a 2 hour time slot.
