This may mean ensuring you have the right equipment and clothing required for tasks. Most winter related problems can be avoided with good preparation.Equipment / water fed pole system.Freezing cold weather causes problems whilst cleaning. Excess water left can cause a slip hazard to anyone so the less water spillage in cold weather the better. You must act before, during and after cleaning. Use warning signage/cones. Consider an exclusion zone to divert public etc from the working area. Consider rescheduling some work to warmer times of the year. To reduce water use you may need to divert to traditional methods rather than WFP.Working – reduce water spillage.Freezing cold weather causes problems whilst cleaning.

Pay particular attention to areas where people will be walking, i.e., entrance ways, walkways etc. Salt can stop ice from forming and causing a slip hazard.Avoid water freezing while you workWindow cleaning in below zero temperatures can cause water to freeze on windows or in the WFP system.Training completion Supervisor signature Sign Here Submit
