Does the self-tipper have manufacturer branding/marking on it? If so I'd maybe try to contact them for advice

I'd suggest you read through the PM28 Guidance notes from the HSE - see https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/pm28.htm where you can download a copy for free. It should give you everything you need to decide whether it is suitable for you to continue using or not. For occasional use and in certain situations...

Possibly try getting in touch with the BPA to see if they can advise? https://www.britishparking.co.uk/Contact-Us-Public

In an office there could be dropped staples, plenty places to stub a toe, presumably they pour themselves a ...

In fairness - the Ladder Association Guidance Document LA455 Safe Use of Ladders and Stepladders states that Footing is the last resort when it comes to securing ladders.
