The government announced the addition of the clause in November 2016 after then Labor Attache Jalilo dela Torre unilaterally required all employers to sign an undertaking that they would not require their Filipino DHs to clean windows from outside.
He took the move after several FDHs fell to their deaths while cleaning windows, the latest of whom was Filipina Rinnalyn Duollog, who was killed on Aug 9, 2016, after falling from her employer’s high-rise flat in Tseung Kwan O.
All FDHs who were signed up to work in Hong Kong from Jan 1, 2017, could not be asked to clean any window above the ground unless it is fitted with a locked grille, and no part of their body except for the arms should extend outside.
