Ladders and tables

A reader in London snapped the following photo less than an hour ago in Piccadilly, it shows how it takes four people to provide less than safe method of working at height.

Now you have to assume that cleaning this restaurant window and its surround is a routine job, possibly carried out at least once a month?? Therefore there is no excuse to be using such a ludicrous access method. A small step ladder balanced on two cocktail tables!! So unstable that it takes three to hold it down.

Cleaning the front of 61 Piccadilly takes four yet still a Death Wish

Fact is that the wrong move and the lot will go over and what they don’t appreciate is that it could easily result in a fatality… all for the want of a longer step ladder!

Definitely one for our Death Wish series
