Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized workers who clean glass surfaces such as exterior walls and window glass of buildings using dedicated tools and detergents to maintain aesthetics and hygiene. High-altitude work and safety management are required.
Description
Glass cleaners remove dirt, water stains, and dust from window glass and exterior glass of office buildings, commercial facilities, and stores using dedicated detergents, sponges, wipers, and brushes, and wipe them clean to maintain aesthetics. Much of the work involves high-altitude operations using high-lift work platforms, gondolas, or rope access, requiring mandatory safety harness use and adherence to work procedures. They develop work plans based on weather and building structures, and perform cleaning efficiently in teams.
