We are researching the number and cost of accidents arising from the exterior cleaning of the walls, windows and roofs of buildings. By buildings, we mean all residential (houses, townhouses and apartments, retirement and rest homes), office, commercial, industrial, retail and government or local body-owned buildings. We are developing technology that has the potential to significantly reduce the number of injuries arising and therefore data about accidents helps us define the value of our technology. Data that is broken down into the number of accidents, injuries, causes, and if residential or commercial and their estimated costs will be very helpful.

Although having this data will not solve a problem as such, it will certainly go a long way, if implemented, to reduce the number of accidents and hence injuries occurring and cost to ACC.

Having this data will continue to motivate the developers of the technology so as to continue their R&D.
