No I'm not Mr  H(& S)....  :D
I just recently read up on ladder regulations and a friend of mine is a H & S officer and we went through some aspects of my work with WFP and ladder safety to make sure I was safe and legal as a training exercise for one of the staff training courses he does.....

I hope midlands health and safety see that and close him down or at least fine him...
He's breaking so many regs......

The guy is only trying to earn a crust Mr H.

Let him earn it in the way he does best and keep your nose out...."closing him down or fining him"...shame on you!

what ones?

Not got 3 points of contact with the ladder
Arms above head height when working from a ladder.
Using a domestic and not a commercial ladder.
Looks like a FG pole so therefore more than 5kg weight above shoulder level.
Ladder should be facing the work and not 90 degrees to it.
Ladders are not permitted for work above 18ft unless secured to the structure beg worked on. The top half of the top windows are above that height I recon...
Not 100% sure but I recon wrong footwear.

Plus it is alleged that the guy is a thieving low life who steels from other WCs...

MR H

Perhaps the Chappy was confused and ordered the wrong size pole to begin with. ::)

Just a good point from Dave of St Ives?

Maybe he's just started out with wfp.

Invested cautiously/wisely in a backpack and one pole first........to "test the water" and lo and behold he finds people sticking their head out of top floor windows asking if he can do theirs too........

Maybe, like me his knees have had it and he'd stopped doing 3rd floor stuff from the ladder years ago and suddenly he realises he can do them too

What's he going to do, say no?

It is the easiest thing in the world to criticize someone

Maybe he's browsing on here now wondering who will give him some helpful advice on which 35' pole he should now buy

So which 35' pole would you advise me to get?

no its not that bad, but if you had to read the paper the next day window cleaner killed falling from ladder  into the front path of a vehicle turing that corner,while wfp from a little step ladder, you must admit there is no footing of the ladder, plus both his hands are on the pole, it seems silly but what he was doing by the road side was dangerous,

Fair comment Joe, it is not very safe for him or others, as he now realises.

Mind you, is it rush hour round that estate? ;D

I still do some pretty daft things every week and I'm in my 22nd year, 3rd year wfp.

Nothing better to do? ::)

Hope he's got his oxygen pack. ::)
