HEALTH AND SAFETY

Health and safety is our main priority before embarking on any cleaning operation at you the customer’s place of work. In 2005 the Health and Safety Executive ruled that there should be a tightening up of legislation regarding working at heights in all sectors of industry. All potential contracts are first reviewed thoroughly with a risk assessment that highlights all hazards and potential risks present in the workplace before any contract can begin.

As an employer we are required to:

Avoid work at height where possible
Use work equipment or other measure to prevent falls where one cannot avoid working at height

Where risk of falling cannot be eliminated completely, use work equipment or other measures to minimise the distance and consequence of a fall should it occur.

It is unfortunate but in our industry it is still clear that many window cleaners are still not embracing the issue of safety, many may not even be aware of their statutory requirements in protecting both themselves and their customers from liability of injury from a fall.

Capstone PWCC remove the worry of risk of injury from falling from height whilst on YOUR premises, whilst effectively trying to remove the unskilled ‘cowboys’ that still plague our industry and that give window cleaning a bad name. For us, window cleaning is a skilled profession that should endeavour to encourage the use of best practice whilst conducting work on YOUR contract.
