Safety Topics
Planning ahead by using a written work plan can prevent accidents from taking place. A requirement of the ANSI/IWCA I 14
Window Cleaning Safety Standard, the written plan can be simply considered as operating instructions when it comes to window
cleaning using suspended equipment or where hazards exist that may affect the safety of the worker(s) or general public. Most
will agree that they’re very easy to put together. The IWCA has a template version in the safety training workbooks
that are given out during safety seminars.
 Those of you whose job it is to look at and price jobs should be the primary person to develop the written plan. After all,
this is the time when you see things like anchor points (or lack of) entranceways, sharp edges and other concerns. The best
part of the written plan is the fact that it allows the building owner or manager to work with you in creating a safe place
to work for you and your employees. Even better, once you’ve done a plan for a particular building there wouldn’t
be a need to do another one, unless of course site specific changes or techniques needed to be renovated.
 Once the plan is complete, be sure and go over it with the workers who will be at the site and ensure that everyone understands
all the instructions. You should also go over the plan with the manager of the building. Having written plans for the buildings
you do that need them is a most crucial step toward safety in the workplace. To learn more about this and other safety related
matters, be sure and attend the next IWCA Safety Training program coming to a town near you.

About the IWCCI |
|
The International Window Cleaner Certification Institute was developed and created
by the members and board of directors of the International Window Cleaning Association, the industry’s
leader in professionalism, safety education and training. Eleven trustees operate the IWCCI. There are four officers and seven
appointed trustees all of who have ties to the window cleaning industry.
A non-profit organization, the IWCCI provides a program that has been
designed to take experienced workers, both English and Spanish speakers, and provide them with the study materials needed
to achieve specific levels of certification. These different levels of certification will assess the amount of retained knowledge
by testing each enrolled participant along with requiring a standard amount of verified On the Job Training hours.
The Professional Certification designation granted by the IWCCI provides
confirmation that an individual has successfully completed the course, passed the final exam, and submitted the required amount
of documented hours of On the Job Training.
