A council and town retailer in Clitheroe have joined forces to remove dangerous ladders from the workplace.
Small businesses in Ribble Valley can get their ladders checked and trade them in for new ones at up to half-price.
Ribble Valley Council has teamed with Dawson's Hardware in King Street.
Nearly 50 workers died in the UK last year as a result of a fall from height in the workplace.
