I would reckon the time the lights were fitted, they didn’t have H+S telling you not to use a ladderHow do they change the lamps in the lights if you can't get at them with a ladder?
I've used one of these before, simple to erect and move around and it fits in a medium sized van
pews aren't generally fixed to the floor. just shove 'em around a bit.
I thought that as well.That's what she said.

What about a painter's mate ladderView: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9mWj5Tw2o8
Do they tell us not to use ladders now?
Now, @davesparks we all know what I meant. and as mentioned on a previous post..... 3 points of contact on the ladder..... only to be used for access and not working from.
Its all down to the heights involved and common sense.
Liking the 3rd leg (she said) for stability. Not sure about being enclosed in the cage though - bit restrictive?
Yes, 3 points of contact, but as taught on the last working at height I did your knees can be points of contact.
They shouldn't be used for long periods of working, but for short duration tasks such as changing lamps and fault finding I see no reason not to work from a ladder of it's the only access equipment which sensibly fits the task.
The suggestions in this thread about having scaffold built or using powered access inside a church seem ridiculous to my mind.

That's not much different to the basket on a tallescope.
I use ladders quite regularly. As long as they're footed and common sense is used, no problem.
I did use scaffold in a church last year for changing some lamps to led corns. They were central (no walls) and we just shifted the pews to suit.
In one old church I installed a winch in the attic for a multi lamp fitting.
Had to Google that Dave. Useful bit of kit, bet they're not cheap.
Invariably better than factories, I'll tell ya.Church floors don't tend to be very accommodating if you land on one at speed from a great height.
