Kjay, that's actually a very good citation, and I thank you for your research. It goes to the heart of why I started this thread.
The point I was raising was that we routinely use other metal platforms, and in some situations an appropriate fiberglass ladder simply doesn't exist.
If the use of metal ladders is so bad, we really need to re-think the ways we use these other things - scissor lifts, boom lifts, scaffolding, etc.
