Carry out a lone worker risk assessment. Not to much to it and pretty much the only safegaurd you have is to have regular contact with someone else

There was a window cleaner called John Salmon round here who fell off a flat roof and lay unconcious for quite a long time. He probably would have died except that the lad who lived there came home from school against all odds because he was going somewhere AND had the sense to investigate why the back gate was open.

John survived but never worked again. I had been playing with WFP before then with a home made set up but that was one of the big things that pushed me to go with it properly.

Strangely enough I now clean that house where he fell. I didn't take it over from John some other W/C had it for a while but he messed everybody around
