Cleaning gutters is a physically demanding and potentially dangerous task, especially for those who are already injured or recovering from a workplace accident. If you’ve been injured at work and your employer holds an active Workcover policy, you may be entitled to gutter cleaning services covered by the insurer. Grayson’s Gutter Cleaning is a registered Workcover service provider, offering expert gutter cleaning services to those who qualify for it.
What is Workcover?
Workcover is an insurance offering in Victoria designed to protect workers who suffer injuries or illnesses resulting from their employment. It can cover a range of things including medical expenses, rehabilitation services, and in some cases, home maintenance tasks like gutter cleaning. For many injured or unwell workers, getting up on a ladder to clean gutters simply isn’t on the cards. Workcover recognises the importance of ensuring these jobs are done safely by qualified professionals to ensure no further harm comes to the injured person.
Why you shouldn’t attempt gutter cleaning if you’re injured
If you’re recovering from an injury, it’s important to avoid activities that could hinder your recovery. This is where registered Workcover providers, like our team here at Grayson’s, can help.
Climbing onto a roof to clear gutters is a risky job, even at the best of times. For someone recovering from an injury, it’s even more dangerous. Attempting to climb up a ladder and clean your gutters while in recovery could end up in a fall, sprain, muscle strain, or worse.
At Grayson’s, our team is trained to handle all aspects of gutter cleaning, from ladder safety to thorough debris removal, ensuring that your gutters are cleaned properly without risk to your health.
Why you should use a Workcover-approved gutter cleaner
Gutter cleaning is a taxing job. It requires strength, dexterity, and the ability to confidently balance while using one or both hands to complete the task. For someone who is injured, this is an absolute ‘no go’. That’s why Workcover has rules in place, for example, only registered providers are allowed to carry out services under the insurance policy.
Workcover-approved providers must meet specific standards and hold a UP registration number, a unique four-digit identifier. This ensures that only reputable, qualified companies (like us!) are legally able to provide services to injured workers. By using a registered provider, you can rest assured that your gutters will be cleaned professionally and safely without putting your safety, health, and wellbeing at risk.
How to access ‘free gutter cleaning’ through Workcover
If you’ve been injured at work in Victoria and believe you may qualify for Workcover gutter cleaning, the first step is to confirm that your employer has an active Workcover insurance policy. This information can usually be found through your employer’s HR or Admin departments. Once you’ve verified your eligibility, the next step is to get approval from your insurer for gutter cleaning services.
Once approved, our team can provide the service at no cost to you. We are authorised to offer gutter cleaning as a once-off service under the Workcover policy without it costing you a cent.
