2. Equipment Failure: Malfunctioning of safety harnesses, scaffolding, ladders, or other equipment can lead to accidents.
3. Weather Conditions: Adverse weather, like strong winds or rain, can increase the risk of slips and falls.
4. Dropped Objects: Tools or cleaning equipment falling from height can pose a danger to others below.
5. Physical Strain: Prolonged periods of working at height can cause physical strain, leading to fatigue or musculoskeletal injuries.
6. Exposure to Chemicals: Regular use of cleaning agents can pose health risks if proper safety measures are not followed.

Ensuring proper safety training, equipment maintenance, and adherence to health and safety regulations is crucial to mitigate these risks.

The height of a window cleaning pole should be chosen based on the specific requirements of the building being cleaned. Ideally, it should be long enough to safely reach the highest windows without requiring the cleaner to overextend or work in an unsafe posture. Generally, poles can range from a few feet for lower windows up to 60 feet or more for high-rise buildings. It’s important to select a pole that provides adequate reach while ensuring stability and safety for the user. Using telescopic poles that can be adjusted to different lengths can offer flexibility for various cleaning situations.
