In an ever changing world we must ensure that we don't stagnate and move with the times. In my time with health and safety and looking after many high level access technicians (HLATS) window cleaners, health and safety is paramount. If any one needs advice or assistance in producing risk assessments and safe systems of work/method statements all you need to do is ask.

Ever counter balanced on a ladder to get the job done quicker?
Ever carried out a job without putting out cordons or warning signage?
Hand on your heart if the answer is yes to any of the above, then time to change and think about your actions, I did and changed.
