Health and Safety is a priority for Juraserv
We are committed to ensuring all reasonable steps are taken by JuraServ technicians to ensure the safety of all personnel engaged in cleaning operations, as well as members of the public. A full risk assessment and method statement will be carried out on every site JuraServ cleaners are operating on. Any control measures found necessary as a result of the assessment will be introduced. These assessments will be reviewed periodically to ensure safety procedures are up to date and relevant. JuraServ will:
- Carry out risk assessments and continually monitor and review all work activities involving window cleaning.
- Ensure all necessary measures are taken to reduce any risks found as a result of the assessment.
- Ensure all equipment used in the operation is suitable for its purpose, is in good working order, and free from defect.
- Ensure that all equipment is obtained from reputable suppliers and manufacturers and conforms to the relevant British and European Standards (further guidance on the correct use of the equipment is contained in HSE guidance note GS25 Prevention of falls to window cleaners).
Safe Systems of Work
The major hazard of window cleaning is falls from height. Therefore, we will ensure, wherever possible, to use the water fed pole system for external windows, sills and frames. All work carried out will be in accord with the following legislation:
- Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
- Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations. (RIDDOR) 1995
- Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 – ACOP 98
- Working at Heights Regulations 2005
