Around 120 deaths have been reported in Australia, because of erroneous gear and resources.
The Australian height safety rules favour the management of appropriate amenities in every industry dealing in building window cleaning services.
Therefore, avoiding accidents is very important to prevent these men from being fatally injured.
In Order To Avoid Mishap High-Rise Buildings Window Cleaning One Must Make Sure The Following Are In Proper Function.
Equipment Checks: Cleaning highrise windows are like rock climbing. So before setting off to work, one needs to make sure the gears are in proper order. If not, they have to be sent for repairing or replacements to meet the codes and standards.
Highly Trained Personnel:
For a work of such high risks, the workmen have to be trained beforehand. They need proper knowledge of the protective gears especially the fall arrest system, which is designed to prevent them from highrise falls.
After proper inspection of gears, the workmen have to be made aware of the devices that are going to be used, along with their safety accessories.
Personal Safety Gears Are Medically Tested: Personal safety gear including, Headgear, Face and Eyewear, Heavy-duty gloves, industrial rope access and other safety vests must be provided to the workmen at all conditions. These will protect the men at work even if anything goes wrong.
Site Assessments: This is an extremely important part of this whole work process. Without knowing which area your men are gonna be working, it’s unsafe to send men to work. Assessing a site involves having proper knowledge of the building foundation, weather conditions, tripping hazard conditions, changes in elevation work surfaces, availability of ladders and open electrical wires in order to avoid getting electrocuted. The crew needs to have prior knowledge of the number of occupants or others who might be present nearby the site and could get possibly harmed.
