Roofing Work Safety
US & Canada Roofing
Why it matters
Roofers die from falls at a higher rate than almost any other trade.
Key points
- 100% tie-off or guardrails/warning lines per your jurisdiction - know which applies.
- Anchor points rated and installed per manufacturer specs.
- Skylights are holes: guard or cover every one, rated for a worker's weight.
- Material staging: keep loads near supports, never on unsupported deck edges.
- Weather calls: wind, frost, and wet membrane end roof work.
Discussion
Where are today's anchor points, and has everyone inspected their harness?
