⚡ Window & External Cleaning Safety: Working Near Power Lines

When you’re out on the job, it’s easy to focus on getting the work done quickly and efficiently. But one thing that should never be overlooked is safety—especially when working near overhead power lines.

Whether you’re using water-fed poles, ladders, or gutter vac systems, electricity is one of the most serious risks you can face in this industry.

We've attached some really important guidance from the Federation of Window Cleaners and the Energy Networks association.

Remember to always carry out a Risk Assessment before starting a job and stay up to date with latest training and courses on working near overhead power lines.

Thanks to Jason & John Knight from the Look up, Look out Campaign for all your work spreading awareness in the industry.
