Re: Commercial Window Cleaning on ladders - a dying breed?

my employee insurance isa up for renewal ,im on ladders and one quote I got yesterday covered for up to 15 metres on ladders,i kid you not

 generally speaking the industry insurance standard for ladder window clean is " up to 10 metres" , I personally only work to 7 metres

I seem to remember being asked 'What height I worked at', and it didn't matter whether I was up a ladder or using a pole; it was the height I worked at that was relevant; not how high up off the ground I went.

Robertphil how do you justify employees using a ladder in your risk assessment that is madness you could end up in jail if they fall and are killed.
