Re: But! Red! Tape!
The regulation states that you cannot stand on a step closer than 900 mm from the top of the ladder. The third step is 880 mm from the top of the ladder and is not the top step of a nominal 1.8 m ladder (actual height 1.67m in use). The next standard size ladder is marginally higher than the ceiling.
I don't bullshit. In particular, I don't need to bullshit about the stupidity of some of Tasmania's laws and regulations.
