Actions already taken to reduce risk

Here are some actions already taken to reduce risk. Be fully fit and technically skilled to avoid potential injuries. Ladders are only used where it is unsuitable or not reasonably practicable to use other safer methods of access. All ladders are fitted with anti-slip feet. Also when they are extended above ground floor, will be secured to the building by tying or other means of equivalent effectiveness. Clean and Bright windows team has adopted the use of the water-fed pole system that facilitate the cleaning of windows up to 60ft high from ground level. Avoiding the need to work at height with ladders is safer. The location of the building and surroundings are always assessed before starting to work with water-fed poles.
