I have set up an obituary thread. I have asked if it can be a sticky.

If you can add to the press releases please do but could you refrain from commenting on that thread and do so here if you wish.

I have no authority to ask this but feel quite sad to hear of a window cleaners death.

Not those that use wfp. And that really says it all. So for any window cleaners that have customers insisting that they clean their windows the old way, tell them to get stuffed. It aint worth the risk for £18. Or £3.50 if you are in Sunderland.  ;D

Makes me think.

My condolences to anyone concerned.

Do we know if there has been any inquiries in to these deaths?

this makes me gulp...

Did the work they were doing require them to climb? Was there any other way they could have done the job? Will the insurance pay out to his family?

I mean no disrespect.

I could be wrong but I think that it's law that all workplace deaths have an inquiry.

This one certainly will be having an inquiry which was the last one mentioned in the obituaries posting.
