High Rise Window Cleaning | OSHA & ANSI Approved Training

GHB Window Cleaning has a flawless safety record thanks to our Fall Protection division that focuses on continued education for our employees.   We train each employee per OSHA, ANSI & WAC laws that govern window cleaning, fall arrest training & certifications.

Prior to hiring a window cleaner we encourage all Property Managers / Owners to interview the company and ask the below questions to ensure cleaning companies are following state & federal laws.  If the cleaning company can’t answer all the below questions correctly, it may be time to interview other window companies.   This will ensure you are protecting your investment plus it will limit your liability.

  1. Q: How many feet up is considered a fall hazard? A: 4 feet (OSHA 1910.23)
  2. Q: When is Fall Protection Required? A: Any heights over 6 feet (OSHA 1926.500)
  3. Q: How close to the roof’s edge can you be without being tied off in a full body harness? A: No person can be closer than 10 feet to an edge without fall protection gear. OSHA 1926 Subpart M (fall protection)
  4. Q: Do you have a site specific safety plan? A: Per WAC 296-878-14005 a safety plan is mandatory.
  5. Q: How often should roof anchors be inspected by a qualified person? A: OSHA requires that all building owners must have the roof anchors inspected annually (OSHA 1910.66)

And remember, always get a  copy of a Certificate of Insurance and ask to be added an additional insured.  You may also request information on their training and certification programs.

Local Business Preps the VMAC & Draws Up a Winning Safety Plan

GHB Window Cleaning Inc. draws up a winning game plan to help the VMAC prepare for the 2015-2016 Season

Bellevue, WA July 31, 2015 – With Seattle patiently waiting for football season, the Virginia Mason Athletic Center is supporting local businesses as they gear up for training camp.   GHB Window Cleaning Inc., a small Seattle Business, has been working hard preforming exterior window cleaning and top –bottom pressure washing services at the facility; helping prepare the VMAC for the return of the 2015 Conference Champions.  However, it takes a great game plan to execute work at heights over 120 feet.

Although this game plan may not consist of X’s & O’s or a quarterback sneak, it does include a route to safety that always leads to a win.  Prior to work commencing, Labor and Industries requires all contractors to have an Accident Prevention Program and with the technicians working as high as 120 feet a Site Specific Safety Plan or Fall Protection Work Plan is required.  This plan identifies fall hazards of 10 feet or more and informs the technicians and the facility of the methods of fall protection being used as well as a detailed rescue strategy if needed.  The department of Labor and Industries & OSHA imposes heavy fines for companies that do not follow these regulations.  The laws are inforce to keep workers safe & limit liability.  Because of the safety preparations executed beforehand and a winning game plan, GHB Inc. has a perfect, flawless safety record; Win!

George Brewer, President of GHB Window Cleaning Inc., recognizes that safety is always priority one and has on-going employee training & offers his expertise to other local business’s in the area.   He said, “Falls are one of the most common serious work related accident and so many owners are unaware of their obligations when it comes to laws that govern fall protection both on the State (WISHA) & Federal (OSHA) Level. … Our game plan simple; prepare & train with safety and execute with quality service.”
