Laws Protecting Window Washers

New York's Labor Law 202 provides protections for window washers and those who wash building exteriors. This law and other laws require property owners to provide a safe environment in which to perform job duties and avoid accidents. This includes providing property safety devices which the contractor is required to use.

Labor Law 202 and other related laws are very specific, and protects the various ways in which commercial window washers can get hurt:

• Elevated distance falls
• Scaffolding not property equipped
• Scaffolding breaking
• Equipment failure
• Improper safety equipment
• Failure to provide proper safety equipment

The injuries commercial window washers suffer are often very serious. Because these accidents often involve falls from elevated distances, victims often suffer back injuries, head injuries, brain injuries, and bone fractures. An unfortunate number of victims suffer fatal injuries / wrongful death.

If you are a window washer who has been injured at work, our firm's attorneys can help you explore your legal options. Labor Law 202 and other related laws can impose liability on part of the property owner for people injured while washing windows. If the property owner and possibly others was non-compliant, we will hold them responsible and seek maximum compensation on your behalf. We have successfully represented window washers in the past and are ready to help you.
