Steptronic Supercharged April 28, 2012 Share April 28, 2012 It is very sad that we lost 8 maids so far. It is really sad indeed. Most of the time they fall without proper supervision. Should we not ensure that 1. They never clean or do risky jobs without capable supervision and guidance 2. Get them some sort of full body safety belts We avoid cleaning those window areas with high risk of falling - Windows can be dirty rather than losing valuable life. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickenMob 6th Gear April 28, 2012 Share April 28, 2012 i never get my maid to wash the outside of the window. just clean the inside is good enough, too dangerous even to tilt your body out . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evillusion Supersonic April 28, 2012 Share April 28, 2012 Maid are usually from the rural parts...and rural pple are always scared of height.....food for thoughts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be aware that such windows are designed not safe to be clean them. Nothing to do with supervision and guidance. I believe there is flaw in the window design.

Darthrevan Supercharged April 28, 2012 Share April 28, 2012 Seriously what kind of employer ask maid to take such risks? Anyone know anyone who does? sinkie slave-driver employers..they themselves mostly do not even clean the exterior of the windows..yet they asked their maids to do it..really wanted to 'milk dry' the maids to the maximum..typical 3rd world mentality Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonTan 2nd Gear April 28, 2012 Share April 28, 2012 With the millions dollar properties....it's very important to clean the windows shiny. The maid is very hardworking. The next person who sells those magnetic glass cleaner will be making tons of money, by right. But then hor....no body buys those cleaner gadget....maid is still better.

Silver_blade Turbocharged April 28, 2012 Share April 28, 2012 I do not know what is the big deal of having the exterior of the window cleaned? Why do some people rather put their helper's life at risk to have it cleaned? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As punishment, every family that has a maid die from cleaning windows... assign 1 of their family members to clean windows without safety equipment for all other flats in that block !!

Kelloggs 1st Gear April 28, 2012 Share April 28, 2012 jailing is not enough. A life for a life.

Steptronic Supercharged April 28, 2012 Author Share April 28, 2012 Seriously what kind of employer ask maid to take such risks? Anyone know anyone who does? So far, 8 employers of such kind are known - there would be many more to come! Last year we had only 4 deaths. This year 8 in just more than a quarter of an year! Very sad!!

I believe there is flaw in the window design. There is no proper facility to clean the windows! We do not have sunshade concept here. Probably those sunshades can save some lives!

Steptronic Supercharged April 28, 2012 Author Share April 28, 2012 Jail owners if they dun hv safety harnesses for the domestic helpers... Good idea. It is very sad to note that responsible employers were not even at home when those accidents happened. Most of the time aged parents or young children only at the time of incident. Employers should supervise and stop any stupid act the maids tend to do! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
