Understanding The Window Cleaning Standard

alliance window cleaning
You know how there are rules to any game?  What happens when the players don't know the rules of the game?  The few who know the rules will outscore those who know less.  Now, what if fouls were called and it sounded like *ka-ching*?  That is not fun at all.


I am talking about safety codes and standards that apply to exterior building maintenance, particularly window cleaning.  There is such a standard that both the building owners and their representatives and the window cleaning contractor have to be guided by.

Aside from a purchased copy of this standard and the safety codes available in the OSHA website, there really isn't anything out there that will make "this game" easily understandable to property managers and building owners.

Follow this link on our take on simplifying the window cleaning standard. Perhaps it will be a first step to more well-informed decision makers.
