Maids can now be sent for a four-hour course centred on working safely near windows.

The programme, to start running on June 30, is offered by non-governmental organisation Foreign Domestic Worker Association for Skills Training.

Half the time in the course will go into teaching them how to clean windows safely; the rest of the time will cover safety tips for hanging out the laundry, using ladders and changing light bulbs, among others.

Maids will learn through lectures and hands-on sessions.
