Safety isn't a department. It's how we lower your risk.
When you hire a contractor to work at height on your building, their safety record becomes your liability. S&K is built to take that risk off your plate.
Every technician passes it before day one
Every S&K window cleaning technician completes our safety program, and must pass it, before working on any building.

Hazards are found and handled before the crew starts
Our technicians use a Job Hazard Analysis and a written work plan to identify and mitigate hazards before any work begins. Both are yours on request.
