I'm lost for words.
Are there seriously still window cleaners out there who have never heard of the HSE, WaHD etc etc.
It is this very type of person who gives all of us a bad name. Print the pic off and send to your nearest HSE

He could have done the job quite safely in two climbs. All he had to do was put his ladder half way up the piller. The shape of the piller would stop any sideways movement of the ladder too. Rather him than me. Dai

most of us have done this type of thing in the past but we are more aware of risks these days, maybe hes new and doesnt know of risks or anything about h & s issues, having said that you would have thought this was dangerous even if you are new
Title: Re: Could not believe my eyes!
Post by: Dick on January 24, 2007, 10:46:17 pm
Not only personally dangerous but the ladder may blow over as well!

he may be cleaning the flat above?

see what I mean Marky, post a picture on here about dangerous practice from a non forum member and you get all manner of comments about their idiocy.

When you posted that picture about gutter cleaning what were the comments? ::)

Anyway, who are you calling an idiot? thats me. (JOKE! ;))
