Covid 19 During these uncertain times for your safety and myself and staff we may be operating a limited service.
A site risk assessment (visual) will be carried out prior to any cleaning.
Only cleaning properties or work places where we can
ensure having very little contact with our clients and their property (other than the cleaning areas).
Where 100% social distancing can be adhered too.
Between each client hand sanitation will be used and works vehicle and equipment sanitised daily.
Operatives will work as a team bubble only.
(Payment methods should be by BACS if possible).
Health and Safety
As well as compliance with the most stringent health and safety guidelines we believe it is our responsibility to ensure we are fully conversant in safe window cleaning methods, recent changes to work at height legislation and understand risk assessments and method statements.
Risk Assessments and Method Statements
- before the commencement of work at any site we undertake a risk assessment to identify any hazards and ensure method statements are completed for all the window cleaning activities undertaken at each site. We appreciate that people may be around when we are working, so operatives are clear on when and where to display safety signs and where there is an identified risk. From our induction to on site work practices I take health and Safety seriously and have maintained a spotless record with all my customers.
The Work at Height Directive 2005 - on 6th April 2005 the 'New Work at Height Regulations' were published, forcing decision makers to immediately review their present window cleaning services. Under the directive, duty holders must make sure that their contractors, such as window cleaners, are conforming to the legislation - even if this means amending their present working practices. The legislation states that appropriate work equipment (such as water fed poles) must be selected and used and those involved with work are to be working at height competent.
