# Hazardous weather stop

A term used when buying window cleaning.

The federal rule that stops rope work in wind and deliberately names no number.

The rope descent standard says no employee uses the system when hazardous weather such as storms or gusty or excessive wind is present, and it stops there. No miles per hour appears anywhere in it, and the duty is the employer's. The number the trade repeats is real and belongs to a different rule: on a powered platform the limit is twenty-five miles per hour, read from an anemometer on the platform and the local forecast. On rope there is no figure at all. So the threshold this business actually runs on is whatever its own written plan says, which makes that document the thing to read. A company with no number of its own has left the decision to whoever is on the roof.
