Title: Neck Brace
Post by: David Beecroft on July 28, 2019, 11:05:09 pm

Hi Guys and Gals,  one of my workers has developed a sore neck from using the pole and looking up. I seem to remember that there’s a brace specifically for that problem. Does anyone use one or know where to find one?
Thanks

I use one when i do my high commercial and never have a sore neck.

Used it since 2012/2013 i believe.

I paid about £35 from memory

Maybe worth looking at his technique, is he standing too close to the building?

Hes standing too close to buildings ...get him to stand further back and extend the pole a bit more...I've never had a bad neck wfp in 10 years.
