Ladders are not banned or illegal but should be used sensibly and appropriately. Window cleaning has always been known to be a high risk job. Running up and down a ladder every day carries a risk! Ladder use can be minimized with the use of pure water technology. Extremely pure deionised water is used to clean the window. The windows are left wet but when they dry they should look spotless. Water fed pole systems clean the windows remarkably well if used by a competent operator. Window frames are often cleaned in the process. See the Working at Height Regulations 2005 |
