When most people see a wildfire, they do their best to flee from the area. But a smokejumper does exactly the opposite and dives straight into the flames. These firefighters race to the scene of a wildfire in high-speed jets and then parachute towards the burning trees in order to extinguish the flames. Although this may sound pretty dangerous, smokejumpers actually have an excellent safety record. This is mostly due to their fireproof jumpsuits as well as thorough training in the latest firefighting techniques every winter.

Cleaning windows may not seem like a risky profession, but how about doing it while dangling hundreds of metres off the ground? That’s the job of skyscraper window cleaners! Unlike conventional window cleaners, those working on skyscrapers must be certified to do so. This is because they have to operate the complicated mechanisms of their lifting and support equipment. They also must be trained in proper safety procedures including appropriate chemical us, and most importantly, fall prevention.

Safety Tips For Window Cleaners: Part 1

Window cleaning may not seem like a dangerous job, but it can be if you are not properly prepared for it. High rise window cleaners may have a more dangerous line of work than most because they have to scale buildings, but they are not the only ones who face dangers on a day to day basis. If you’re going to work in this lucrative industry, you need to make sure you protect yourself. Here are some great safety tips for window cleaners that you can take with you on the job.

Keep Your Personal Belongings Locked In The Van

Some window cleaners get a little too comfortable at work, bringing their phones, laptops, and other personal belongings on the job site because they think they are in a safe neighborhood. You never know when someone might come by to steal those items, so it’s best to keep them locked in your work vehicle . This will also protect the items from getting damaged, in case it rains or something falls near them at work.

If you have no choice but to bring your belongings with you, make sure you keep them out of harm’s way in a location you can watch over.

Wear Protective Gear When Working With Harsh Cleaning Chemicals

On occasion, you may need to use harsh cleaning chemicals to remove stains or stuck-on grime on a window. When that happens, make sure you wear a mask, gloves, and possibly goggles to protect yourself. Even if you are working in an open-air environment, you can damage your body by breathing in the chemicals. The dish soap you use for standard cleaning jobs won’t hurt you, but anything else needs to be used with caution.

Be Aware Of Your Environment

Before you start cleaning a window, make sure you check your surroundings. Look over the building carefully and check for falling wood, built-up ice, protruding nails, or anything else that may hurt you while you’re working. You also need to be aware of people in the area, in case they try to hurt or steal from you on the job. It’s sad to think that’s a possibility, but it is. You have to be prepared for it. Simply looking around before you start a job will do wonders for your protection.

Stay tuned for Part 2 of this guide where we’ll go over even more window cleaning safety tips for you to put into action.

The Danger of Window Cleaning Jobs ?

Asked by Wiki User

Answered June 25, 2012 3:10PM

To begin with, you should know that window cleaning jobs do not have to be dangerous. If you do everything in the correct fashion, you will be as safe while you are cleaning the windows as you would be inside of the building itself. You do not need to be nervous about getting hurt. However, you do need to know that there are certain dangers that come along with this profession. If you know this, you can work to keep yourself safe at all times. It is better to understand these things and to respect them than to ignore them and assume that you will be safe.

One danger is that your equipment itself can malfunction. Depending on the job, you may use a scaffolding that is attached to the roof or you may use one that lifts you up from the ground. It is important to go over these before every job to make sure that everything is in working order. A little bit of maintenance can ensure that there will not be any problems. You need to look for any signs of wear. This could include stress fractures or simply nuts and bolts that have come loose over time.

Another danger is that you could fall if you do not strap yourself in. You will have a harness of some sort that will connect you to the lift. You need to make sure that you always have the lines connected and all of the snaps and buckles in place. You may get overconfident and eventually think that you do not need these safety mechanisms. If you catch yourself thinking this, make sure that you do not give in to the desire to free yourself from the restraints. These things are there to keep you safe, whether you have been doing the job for three days or twenty years.

These are the two main dangers of window cleaning jobs. As you can see, both of them can be reduced to almost nothing with a little bit of work on your end. If you take the time to make sure that you are safe, this will not be a dangerous job for you to do.
