The Ladder Association promotes and champions the ladder as an invaluable piece of workplace equipment and is the only trade body dedicated to providing users with the information and skills they need to use ladders and stepladders safely and productively.

Working in collaboration with manufacturers, suppliers, key influencers and policy makers, including the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), the association uses the collective experience and expertise of its many members to fulfil a number of key roles.

As a knowledge provider and resource centre, its safety-related publications, products and website cover all aspects of safety and best practice, and its training courses deliver confidence and competence as required by the Work at Height Regulations. In addition, specialist committees contribute to the setting of both national and European standards.
