He point to the ban on cleaning outward-facing windows introduced in 2017, saying: "We all know window cleaning is dangerous ... yet there are still employers who violate the [law]."

"Sometimes workers want to do the right thing by cleaning the window in spite of the ban and put themselves in danger," she added.
