A group in the UK called The Ladder Association educates companies and individuals on the correct and safe way to use ladders. During their annual Ladder Exchange the group helps organizations trade in their old unsafe ladders for new ladders at a discounted price. The Ladder Associate has helped take 1000’s of unsafe ladders out of circulation. The Ladder Exchange program is currently collecting photos from around the world of individuals misusing ladders.

When the contest is over a winner will be chosen based on the amount of comments or “likes” on the photo.
