Ladders are scary things.
Even if you don’t have a phobia of them like me, the statistics speak
for themselves.
According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of
Accidents, ladder and stepladder accidents send 41,000 people to hospital
annually - often resulting in some of the most serious injuries and even death
when people fall from high up. In fact,
ladders account for nearly ten in every thousand accidents (although knitting
and sewing equipment account for 2 in every thousand). And a third of all falls from ladders occur
when people are carrying out DIY or household maintenance.
So what do these statistics tell us? Firstly, as I long suspected, DIY is a very
silly idea. Secondly, watch those
knitting needles. And thirdly, avoid
ladders!
But not only should you avoid ladders, you should
avoid, as far as possible, asking people to go up them on your behalf. If you get someone round to carry out work on
your roof, scaffolding is a much safer option.
And when you take on a window cleaner, make sure it’s someone who can
keep their feet on the ground while they make your windows sparkle. Someone like Waterfed Pole WindowCleaning. We can reach up to six storeys
high standing on ground level, getting the same results as we do on the ground
floor.
So don’t ask your window cleaner to risk his
neck. Join the Waterfed Pole Window Cleaning revolution and make sure your window cleaner is safe while he works.
