Safety in window cleaning using waterfed pole systems

Publication information:

Traditionally window cleaners have relied upon portable ladders, platforms, scaffolds, bosun’s chair and cradles for access for window cleaning.

In recent years many window cleaners have adopted the use of water-fed pole systems that facilitate the cleaning of windows up to 60ft/20mtrs high from ground level.

Avoiding the need to work at height is an obvious immediate attraction, however, there are various considerations to be taken into account.

It includes sections on:

  • Avoiding risk
  • Hazards associated with the use of water-fed poles
  • Road safety
  • Choice of tank system and equipment
  • Recovering a Falling Waterfed Pole
