Working “hand and hand”, Duo-Safety Ladder and Fire Service Safety Testing, Inc. have continued to explore our findings of “ rivet head” failure from corrosion. It appears it is a result of excessive moisture and/or road salt. As a result, Duo-Safety Ladder has requested we replace the affected rivets especially, but not limited to, ladders manufactured during the years 1995, 1996, and 1997.
