[Penance]

Are insulated steps/ladder expected to be used during an assessment?

For the sake of £60 it's probably better to have them whether it's for an assessment or not.

Do you mean as opposed to uninsulated ones or instead of a platform/podium steps/tower?

 

[Penance]

Novus, all I have is ally steps at the mo, would like to get glass fibre but funds are tight.
If it's a black mark for not having them then obviously I need to sort it. Otherwise I will make do with what I have for now.

£60, where's that then, not seen them that cheap.

costco 40 + vat good quality

If you can justify using them, eg if they're sturdy enough, then I can't see you getting failed for that.

 

[Penance]

Yea they are decent enough and sturdy, have two to chose from. Just unsure of what is expected in that regard for assessment.

Ah, thought that was a bit cheap - I bought a pair of 6 treads from the same place last July for £68.50.
They're good steps - really sturdy and as I remember delivered promptly. A few scuffs on the sides but that could have occurred during transit.

 

[Penance]

Was thinking of 6 tread, they a reasonable size for domestic?
Got a feeling they may be a tad high for average house.

 

[Adam W]

Yes. I've been using them at home and they're fine, although my ceilings are nearly 3m high. Remember you might need to use them to get into a loft, and there's nothing to say you have to stand near the top.
The biggest problem is getting them in my car.

 

[Penance]

Well I could use my ally ones for loft access but carrying one is better. Our ceilings are 2.5 so reckon 6 might be way to go despite my initial thoughts.
Thanks for the info.

I use Little Giant steps LIKE_THESE They are very stable and have a big high safety rail to hold on to, that can also hold tools. They are not fibre glass but with my low blood pressure i am more at risk from falling off ordinary steps and killing myself that way rather than from getting a shock
