We now have over 10,000 members.
How many out of 10,000 have been fined or taken to task by  H.S.E ?

most of my customers are commercial and its not the HSE that take you to task bit its the compaines themselves H&S officers, site managers etc

most (90%) want to know i am working safe... i.e. method statement, risk assesment, insurance, public liabilty.

hope this hepls jeff

Window cleaners who are sole traders usually only find out the HSE when something goes wrong.

Sorry maybe i should have phrased the question a little different.

What i am trying to assert is how big a problem H.S.E  is to our industry.

I was hoping to do this without having a poll.

HSE is there to help us, not to police us. 

But they might tell you to get your hair sorted ;D

In Harrow some decorators were done in the summer for using a ladder to paint a block of flats and I know of two guys who were done in Carpenders Park for replacing guttering .

I haven't heard of any window cleaners being done around here but I know that slowly the message is getting through to the customers.
I have been asked by 2 new customers how I cleaned the windows and when I said with a pole they said "Oh good" that was actually the opposite reaction to the one I had expected from them.
