ISSUE TEASER:
“Training can be the biggest lie we tell ourselves. The busier we get, the harder it is to get everyone up to speed,” said safety expert Gary Mauer. He recommends a day or two of preseason window cleaning safety training. The topics Mauer believes every window cleaner should brush up on are hand tools, ladders, waterfed equipment, trailers, vehicles, and power tools.
The International Window Cleaning Association (IWCA) convention was held in Scottsdale, Arizona. AWC contributor Bob Lawrence has the scoop. He reports on all the different presentations and showcases involving window cleaners, manufacturers, and distributors. Lawrence also covers the usual competitions, contents, keynote speeches, and award ceremonies.
Finding quality and affordable health insurance has never been easy. AWC contributor Philip M. Perry is here to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
