2 week trial to start to see how they get to grips with hours, weather, equipment etc..
This entails an induction course including COSHH, working at height first aid stuff
Out on the windows is a few hours talking technique and practising on some windows ( usually mine ) then out on the road, I like them to get cleaning ASAP so after they have seen a house or two off they go, usually watch, guide and help over the next few days then they do some backs, then over the two weeks complete houses under supervision.
If all is good they go on a 12 wk probation during this time they work with a leading hand honing the cleaning technique and time on the glass from there they will be good enough to do this and drive the van,
