Northern District Community Service Consultative Council member Cheong Kin San said yesterday the government should protect workers who need to clean windows by ensuring that there are enough safety precautions.
Cheong made the comments during a regular meeting of the council in Areia Preta.
On Tuesday a 62-year-old local woman, who worked as a part-time domestic helper was believed to have fallen to her death from a flat on the 12th floor in Rua do Almirante Sérgio while cleaning a window.
