Canary Wharf window cleaners committed to minimising accident claimsRSS Feed

Window cleaners at One Canada Square are backing a national safety campaign to prevent accident claims resulting from falls in the workplace.

Peter Kyte Frics, managing director of Canary Wharf Management Limited, explained that safety is always top of the agenda among staff.

He added: "We are conscious of the fact that many accidents in the workplace can be directly related to slips, trips and falls.

"We do all we can through training to make sure that all workers on the Canary Wharf estate are aware of hazards."

The support is being offered to the Health and Safety Executive's Shattered Lives campaign, with the regulator urging employees and employers throughout the UK to take simple steps to reduce injury risks in the workplace.

Other organisations to have pledged their support to the campaign include Uxbridge College in Hillingdon, which recently underlined how simple steps can be taken to improve classroom safety.
