Recycling of fiberglass ladders?
"Fiberglass" or "glassfibre" is
material made from extremely fine fibers of glass. It is used as a reinforcing
agent for polymer products. The resulting composite material, properly known as
fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) or glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), in popular
usage is called "fiberglass. The advantages of the products are corrosion
resistant, mechanical strength, low weight, chemical resistant, electrical and
thermal insulating and many others.
Unfortunately fiberglass is much more
difficult to recycle than materials like wood (100 % natural and industrial
recycling), aluminium (75 % industrial recycling). Crushing and granulation is
one possibility but commercially non proven.. Tests have shown that it is technically possible to break down the molecule chains in
uncured polyester by pyrolysis, and then reuse the resulting product as new polyester raw
materials. However, pyrolysis is not currently financially viable.
Fiberglass ladders are said to end up in a landfill.

Can shocks from static
electricity damage your health? - Wolfson Electrostatics reports
Modern buildings are inherent
static generators and dry, fine weather often brings complaints of
electric shocks from people touching radiators, door handles, filing
cabinets and hand rails. Whether it is a new car, a new office or the
interior of a department store, the question is often asked, can
repeated shocks from static constitute a health hazard?
On the face of it one might expect static electricity to pose a lethal
threat. The voltages encountered may be as high as 15,000 or even
20,000 volts, whereas mains supply voltages of only 240 volts are known
to be fatal. Furthermore, the destructive nature of static electricity
is vividly demonstrated in nature by a lightning strike, itself an
extreme form of static discharge. In the office, car or store, however,
we do not encounter lightning-like discharges and what determines the
severity of the electrostatic shock, in most cases, is the amount of
electrical charge that is generated and stored on the human body. When
a person reaches for a door handle and experiences an electric shock it
is the release of electrical energy developed on their body by actions
or movement prior to touching the handle. The charge may be generated
by a very simple action such as walking across a carpeted or tiled
floor. The electrical shock that is experienced occurs when the body
loses its stored energy very rapidly in the form of an electrostatic
discharge (ESD). This ESD can be characterised in terms of parameters
which include the discharge energy, electrical current and duration of
current flow.
Energy
Electrical energy that can be stored on the human body and then
released in an ESD is measured in milljoules (mJ) and is governed by
the capacitance of the body (C) and the potential or voltage attained
(V), according to the formula E = ½ CV2. The capacitance of
a person standing will usually lie in the range 100-300 picofarads (pF)
and human body potentials in excess of 20,000 volts are unlikely to
occur. Taking the maximum in each case, yields an energy level of 60
mJ, this represents a relatively small amount of energy compared with
say a household light bulb which consumes a 1,000 times more energy
every second.
The electrical current flowing during an ESD can be measured on a fast
response oscilloscope. This quantifies the other two
important characteristics of an electrostatic discharge - a relatively
high current which maybe several amperes dissipated within a fraction
of a microsecond.
The effects of electrical current passing through the human body are
covered at length in the International Electro Technical Commission
document IEC 479-2:1987. In this document it indicates that a transient
or capacitive discharge, as is the case with static electricity,
requires energy in excess of 5 Joules (5000mJ) to produce a direct
serious risk to health. Although it is practically impossible to store
this level of electrostatic energy on the human body, case histories
have shown a number of accidents due to shock reaction. Such accidents
include falling from ladders, involuntary recoil and dropping or
releasing loads.
Footnote: In some industrial processes, discharges of several Joules
due to static electricity can occur under extreme conditions. In such
cases the static charge accumulates not on the human body but on highly
polarised materials where the effective capacitance is very high. These
situations can give rise to extremely energetic discharges resulting in
severe physiological effects.

Static electricity on ladders -
New products: Dissipative stairs
Electrostatic charges
and their discharge (ESD) present severe risks to the life of
electronic equipment in general, and to semiconductor components in
particular. These risks are present where components, circuit boards or
other unprotected parts are handled, transported, stored, manufactured
or tested. ESD also creates a risk of ignition of explosive gases,
powders, a.o. in infinite industrial, civil and military fields.
Individuals and objects can become electrostatically or
triboelectrically charged moving across a floor, down a stairway or up
a ladder.
Skylax foldable stairways JumboStep
and
KingStep are the first
professional stepladders with controlled electrostatic discharge. They
come in 8 different models for works in EPA environments up to 3 meters.

American Ladder Institute
Revised Children’s Ladder Safety Educational Kit is now free
The American Ladder Institute
(ALI) is proud to offer its ladder safety teaching unit, "Ladder Dude,"
free of charge.
ALI’s revised "Ladder Dude" kit includes five ladder safety
lesson plans, flash cards and stickers for children. Furthermore, the
kit includes a kid friendly exam to test their knowledge about ladder
safety. The “Ladder Dude” mascot is sure to bring
fun and laughter to any classroom, while educating children about the
importance of safety. The revisions of this kit were based on feedback
from teaching instructors and input
from ALI’s current members. Ladder safety is a legitimate
concern and should be a teaching priority with children. Each child
will grow to use ladders in the home, workplace, outdoors, etc. For
this reason, ladder safety should be promoted at an early age.
“Ladder Dude” is a worthwhile instructional kit
that emphasizes the importance of correct ladder use, and would be
perfect for your child’s school library or neighborhood day
care. The American Ladder Institute was founded in 1947 and represents
North American ladder manufacturers and is committed to the highest
standards of ladder safety. ALI’s mission is to educate the
public as to the selection, care, and safe use of ladders and develop
and disseminate the appropriate standards for design, construction,
testing, care and use of ladders. For more information or to request
your free copy of Ladder Dude, please contact ALI Headquarters at

New ideas: Alexander
Jabs' Entwurf zur Standsicherheit von Leitern
Mit seiner Idee für die
Standsicherheit von Alu-Leitern hat der Student der
Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee (KHB) Alexander Jabs den
ersten Preis im
Wettbewerb "Imagineering 2002" mit dem Thema "Mehr Sicherheit in
Erholung und Freizeit" gewonnen. Den europaweiten Wettbewerb hatte
DuPont
ausgeschrieben. Die Entwurfsarbeit des Studenten aus dem Fachgebiet
Produkt-Design war zunächst unter den Einreichungen aus
Deutschland auf den
besten Platz gesetzt worden. Auch im Ländervergleich zwischen
Deutschland,
Frankreich, Großbritannien, Italien und Spanien landete seine
Arbeit nun an
erster Stelle.
Als Ausgleichsvorrichtung für Alu-Leitern hilft die
Niveauregulierung mit Hilfe
eines flexiblen Bogens, Unfälle zu vermeiden. Die Funktion ist
"genial" einfach Die Niveauregulierung stellt sich beim Aufsetzen der
Leiter selbsttätig so ein, dass sich deren vier
Füße auch auf unebenen
Untergründen gleichmäßig und sicher
abstützen. Beim Belasten der Leiter
arretiert sich der Bogen in einer Führungsschiene automatisch,
indem seine
gezahnte Oberfläche in das entsprechende Gegenprofil greift
und ein weiteres
Verschieben sicher verhindert.
