High-rise window cleaning is a specialized service that demands meticulous attention to safety—not just for the technicians but also for building occupants and pedestrians below. At Shine On Anchors, we prioritize rigorous safety protocols to ensure every project is executed without incident.

Understanding the Risks

Cleaning windows on tall structures involves several hazards:

  • Falling Objects: Tools or equipment can accidentally drop, posing serious risks to people below.
  • Worker Falls: Without proper fall protection systems, technicians are at risk of severe injury.
  • Equipment Failures: Issues like unsecured scaffolding or snapped cables can lead to catastrophic outcomes

Mitigating these risks requires comprehensive safety measures and trained professionals.

Essential Safety Measures

1. Certified Training

All our technicians undergo extensive training, including OSHA 1910.27 compliance and SPRAT certification. This ensures they are proficient in using safety equipment and adhering to best practices.

2. Regular Equipment Inspections

Before each project, we conduct thorough inspections of all equipment, including harnesses, ropes, and scaffolding, to ensure everything is in optimal condition.

3. Public Safety Protocols

We establish exclusion zones around the work area to protect pedestrians and building occupants from potential hazards. Clear signage and barriers are used to maintain safe distances.
