Teamwork makes the dream work, and you can’t scaffold without a team. On average, we spend more time during a work week with our colleagues than we do with our loved ones. So, you can see why our colleagues can have such an impact on our day-to-day lives. Great teams are built by the people who make getting out of bed just that little bit better and a whole lot easier, so let’s celebrate them today by giving a shout-out to your #SUPERSCAFFS

Ladders have been helping us reach new heights for over [1]10,000 years. On average, ladders cause [3]515 injuries per year, with many of these incidents involving over-reaching, losing balance, equipment misuse or failure, or failure of a surface. Real-life stories bring the dangers into sharp focus. Take, for example, the case of a window cleaner who fell 2.3 meters due to an unsecured ladder, resulting in multiple broken ribs, fingers, and a fractured arm whilst on the job. While this worker was fortunate to escape with his life, not everyone is so lucky. Tragically, a maintenance fitter lost his life in a similar scenario. He slipped on the second rung of a ladder, his feet slipping through, causing him to fall backward. The impact on the floor resulted in a fatal head injury.
