If you read the bit on that link on sloping roofs, from the bottom of page 4, they are even harsher with this than with flat roofs.
http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/misc613.pdf
here is some quotes
... For domestic work above small areas of sloping
roofs, eg over ground-floor porches and below
first-floor dormers: ...
...Current trade practice to work from the sloping roof is
still widespread, particularly among self-employed
window cleaners at private domestic premises....
...HSE recognises this as a problem that will not always
easily be eliminated given that the pay rates for window
cleaners often make use of expensive equipment
uncompetitive. ...
..., the only safe solution may be that window
cleaners do not attempt to clean such windows...
