Freezing Water, Slip Hazzard, What do you do?
« on: February 02, 2012, 12:09:48 pm »
Reading a few posts on here re - the water we leave behind on paths etc freezing up and leaving a Slip Hazzard for Customers & general members of the public, I was wondering what precautions you Take?

In this culture of 'Where there is blame there is a claim' compensation crap our consecutive governments have got us into, its a very dangerous situation for us WFP Window Cleaners.

Down here in Devon we are quite lucky that the temperatures don't seem to drop quite as low as they do 'Up-North' (originally from York, I know how cold it does get up there) but it still freezes none the less.

So what do you do to avoid leaving Ice behind when you leave?

Go back to using trad pole and backflip. All my round was on this before wfp so no problem and no slip hazard.
