Just unreal watching it,like in slow motion,you just want to grab the ladder for him,but nothing you can do,oh dear :frowning: :frowning:

There should be a guy at the bottom holding the ladder to make sure that it doesnt slip.H and S should be used sensibly.

Hopefully steps will be taken to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

probably a cowboy firm. 99% of sites don’t allow ladder use and instead workers work off alloy towers and scissor lifts.
