Having clean windows brings the best out of your property. But given windows are sometimes out of reach, giving them a clean is not always straightforward. The windows of upper floor or high-rise buildings require a specialist approach that most people are not qualified for. As a leading company for windows cleaning at height in Panama, we know a thing or two about cleaning windows, regardless of how high up they are.
Hazards of cleaning windows at height
There are many hazards when cleaning windows but proper health and safety assessments, as well as the correct equipment, can help avoid them.
Ladders
One of the most common methods for cleaning windows is by using ladders but the risks remain meaning that the correct footwear must be worn, the ladder must be the correct height for the job and working loads cannot be exceeded. Not adhering to these rules can results in slips, trips, falls and straining from overreaching.
Rope Access
When there are windows that are difficult to reach, rope access will often be used. Rope access gives window cleaners more flexibility, allowing them to complete the job in less time and access areas that couldn’t be reached using a ladder. Naturally, however, there are risks associated with rope access such as falls, failing to use PPE and moving too quickly, causing injuries.
Cradles
Cradle windows cleaning at height in Panama is most used for high rise buildings but can be one of the most dangerous pieces of equipment if not used correctly. This piece of equipment can be extremely hazardous if the user has not engaged in proper training to know how to safely operate the cradle. They must also understand the risks of overloading as well as operating in inclement weather conditions. Injuries can easily occur when using equipment such as this when jobs are rushed, or the individual fails to use personal protective equipment.
