Abstract: A roof ladder construction includes a roof hook assembly and a ladder to which the roof hook assembly is pivotally mountable for movement between two operative positions, a first of the operative positions being a position in which the roof hook assembly may extend over a roof ridge for engagement with a remote roof surface at a side of the roof opposite that at which the ladder is positioned and the other, second position being one in which the roof hook assembly does not engage with the remote surface of the roof.

Abstract: A work platform unit (1) mountable to a ladder (3) the unit including a platform (2) upon which a work person may stand and which is adapted for mounting to the upper end of the ladder (3) such that when the ladder is located in a position of use the platform (2) may be set to a horizontal position, and a safety barrier construction for providing all round safety protection to a person when standing upon the platform, the safety barrier construction involving a framework (22) upstanding from the perimeter region of the platform (2) and incorporating a gate arrangements (42,43) such that when closed the framework (22) effectively totally surrounds a person when present upon the platform (2) to provide said all round protection.

Abstract: A device for indicating/limiting the overall displacement of a movable member from a preset position, wherein the device (1) is selectively positionable to accomodate variation in allowable displacement of the movable member (32, 38, 39, 42, 49, 50, 52) prior to preventing displacement of the movable member or for providing an indication of any such displacement of the member.
