High risk jobs are prone to various injuries and accidents. Both incidents not only affect the employee but also to the people within the working area. In the commercial cleaning service industry, window cleaners, especially the ones who wash the outsides of a high rise building, are exposed to potential mishaps and injuries. The working environment itself is a hazard for window washers. Great heights are dangerous work places for cleaners who are required to wash and wipe window exteriors from skyscrapers. Accidents like falling from the scaffold can cause death or permanent physical disability. Office cleaning service companies should protect their employees from occupational hazards. Employee insurance assures window cleaners of medical coverages in case they endanger themselves. Liability insurance not only covers damage to client's properties but also includes direct accidents to passer-bys. Office cleaning service equipment might slip through the hands of the cleaners or fall from the scaffolds and hit innocent pedestrians or cars.

Making an insurance claim for such occurrences is not a guarantee to smoothly operate and sustain a reliable cleaning business. Safe practices in various office cleaning services are still priorities when dealing with risky jobs. Window cleaners should follow the safety first rule before doing the cleaning task. Cleaning companies should train window cleaners to read, follow, and inspect correct installation of equipment such as assembly of scaffolds. Personal protective gears such as full body harness should be provided by the cleaning employers. If cleaning companies give importance to insurance and safe practices, not only will they boost employee morale, but they can assure the public of safety and even gain a client's trust.
