just done a google
<< Ladder Staging System
The old Ladder Cripples were dangerous and outlawed years ago. For years nothing replaced them. Now the "Ladder Staging System" is accepted by HSE as a safe system when erected & used in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.

Thats right HH the only differance between ladder staging is that cripples dont have any hand rail and you use scaffold boards for the platform, used them quite a lot years ago until they were banned. Dont want to pay the ridiculous  price for ladder staging so want to to get some cripples and adapt them to take a handrail  |

let me know if you find any? I've been on the lookout for the last year for cripple boards to no avail.
I only want them for my working on my own house I wouldn't trust any of the lads to not step back to admire their work.

No spotteddog.
The hook on the rungs of two ladders to make a bracket which you can put an staging board, which enables you to work between the two ladders.
Ideal for gutters etc.
