I would have thought that while it paints a damming picture of the quality of planning that goes into new construction and the quality of maintenance of existing structures that all in all it shows the harsh ralities that a window cleaning co. is faced with when asked to bid for these buildings and in the long run any thing which will force architects to design safer buildings and force building owners to cover there share of the safety burden can only be a good thing for our industry, In the last six months i have benn asked to quote at least three buildings that when i got on site i had to explain to the building super that the place was not built properly to allow safe access for the window cleaner ( no eye bolts, huge overhang, 12 storey interior glass wall with no access for anything etc) only to be told that all codes had been adhered to and to find out later that someone else was washing the windows , I dont need the work that bad but some do. The irony is that in each case to fit the safety devices during the construction phase would have entailed minimal costs but to retro fit them would be a huge expense so thats three more buildings in Boston that will remain an unsafe place to work for a long time
