[anderclean]

have been asked to supply all three for a big office block.
we are cleaning all the windows internal and external.

out side all water fed pole work (up to 4 floors)

not having done any courses yet (big mistake ?!) after 20 years window cleaning
never needed any of this before

would any one be willing to allow us to see something you've got to give us the idea of what's expected.

we've been asked for;

risk assesment
method statement
and our company health and safety policy (we don't have one at present)

i know this is asking a lot - but any help would be greatly appreciated.
please post here or e mail us direct at

thanks

Hi Rob,

Get yourself onto the documents downloads page on this site.

I was after method/risk assessments the other day and found it very useful.

Not sure if they've got the wfp systems documents on there but traditional, they've covered just about everything.

Rob,

I'm very lazy.  Send me an e-mail so I can reply to it with some attachments.

Rob u dont need health and safety policy if you have less than 5 employees

[anderclean]

I was also told that (you don't need one unless you employ 5 people; but I haven't read this in black and white).

Some managers of a large commercial premises have a 'tick list' that they've got to satisfy to 'okay' a contractor.

If one of them is a 'health and safety policy' required from their window cleaners, are you going to argue with him, if you want the contract, that it's not required because you don't employ five people.

Personally, I'd give him one.  Even if it's just a 'bluff' at the end of the day.

I hate saying this; because I end up getting tortured; but if you want a copy of a health and safety policy; e-mail me!  I'll send you mine.  It satisfied one-part of a  'fifteen point criteria' wanted by a Hilton Hotel.
