Washing windows at a height refers to the so-called vertical work, when people are hung on ropes to perform hard-to-reach work. And although it is quite safe, the nerves due to the height can still complicate the work.
In addition to the risk of a fatal fall, a window cleaner faces climatic conditions. Rain, wind and high temperatures can be a big problem.
High altitude window cleaning can take 2 to 3 weeks of continuous work.
