Although we all hate and loathe being told by H & S not to work off ladders (the, 'It's my life, my choice kind of thing)
It is accidents such as these that become the driving force for stronger regulations.
I've had a couple of falls, Tosh has had a couple of near miss's, there is another local window cleaner that doesn't use the forum who has had 2 bad falls, squeaks hasn't had an accident, but over time the likes of Roger are the exception not the rule.
As has been said, if we haven't had a fall ourselves, we know of plenty of others who have.
I must ask Roy and Tomo (2 other local guys on the forum) if they have had or know of others who have had accidents on ladders....
They happen an awful lot more than like, and I've lost count of those heart in the mouth moments....
It only takes 1 single moment of inattention, and no matter how careful we all are, those moments happen to us all....hopefully no motre than a hreart in the mouth moment!
