This building we are in is equipped with eye bolts that are used to tie off the window washers. The building wasn't built with a crane and winch system to carry a window washing cradle. This crew inspects these hooks every 6 months for safety. They insert a small camera into the soffit to check the bolts from behind, for rust or corrosion. Since I live on the top, I got to visit a bit with this crew. They obviously depend on their equipment for safety as I would with my diving gear. They are very well trained, and their ropes and clips are also inspected on a regular basis. Now this is my kind of a job where the view is great. I could just climb over the rail and hang out all day long.
