During a site visit for a stage $2$ certification audit of a facility management company, you notice that a window cleaner is stretching from a long ladder to clean a window pane on the second floor. The ladder is resting on loose chippings. There is no indication that the ladder is secured and the cleaner is unaccompanied. He is not wearing a safety harness and is working with a bucket perched on the top rung of the ladder.

You discuss this situation with the OH&S Manager who states that the operator works for a subcontractor, EasyClean. He adds that they have also used this subcontractor for many years to service their own clients. He tells you that he has visited the contractor$$s offices to discuss OH&S issues and was satisfied with their level of awareness of their responsibilities. He mentions that he will have a word with the operator about safety practices when using ladders.
