Summary
A worker who cleans window glass and glass surfaces in buildings and commercial facilities, contributing to the maintenance of the building's exterior appearance.
Description
Glass wiping workers clean window glass and glass walls in buildings, offices, and commercial facilities using squeegees, mops, and specialized detergents. They remove dust, oil films, and water stains adhering to indoor and outdoor glass surfaces, finishing without streaks or water droplets. In high-rise buildings or large facilities, they use high-place work vehicles, scaffolding, rope access, etc., and wear safety belts, helmets, and other protective gear. They divide work among teams for efficient cleaning and are required to respond to weather and surrounding environments.
