accident waiting to happen
« on: September 26, 2006, 05:06:10 pm »
on my way to my 1st job today i was stuck on a red light and as you do i was looking around admiring the view when i then spotted a window cleaner (trad) up a ladder.
nothing new here, i hear you say...................

except he was cleaning 3 stories high UP A LADDER!!!
this has to be an accident just waiting to happen?

i was so concerned about this guy i considered parking up my van and telling him about the h&s regs and about wfp
but then had second thoughts

1, because i am behind and wanted to get on
2, it's none of my business how he opperates and he may take objections to my comments

i just hope he's on this forum and reads this........
so if you were the w/c in bular rd, southampton
take care my friend!!!!

the last thing we need is to lose another w/c in our ranks

I saw a window cleaner on a tiled slopeing roof today with his ladder on the low part plastic guttering, he easily could have fell.  He must have seen me watching him as on the next house he had his mate footing it for him, it just goes to show most window cleaners are aware of the danger but choose to ignore it.

Don't get me wrong ive been there and taken the risks myself, i dont think it would be anyone on this forum beause everyone is very aware of health and safety and very sensible
