April might nearly be over but the April showers are still causing slippery conditions for roofers. Make sure weather conditions are always considered when working on roofs and the right safety equipment is put in place #SafetyFirstFriday
Make sure all your workers are fully trained in working on a #roof. If there is someone on the roof who has not been properly trained, they are a rooftop safety hazard and could cause serious injury to themselves or others #SafetyFirstFriday
Did you know that there is on average 217 fatal injuries to workers on roofs each year? Make sure you always take caution when working at height and that the right equipment is in place to protect your worker's safety #SafetyFirstFriday
#SafetyFirstFriday Working on roofs is very perilous, even if it is popping up for a quick look. People should always be trained, competent, and fully aware of all the necessary risks and how to mitigate them #Roofing Safety
#SafetyFirstFriday The Work at Height Regulations 2005 should always be used when working at height to plan the work. It lays out a hierarchy of the different measures that can be taken #Roofing
#SafetyFirstFriday Work on or near fragile roof surfaces requires a combination of stagings, guard rails, fall restraint, fall arrest and safety nets slung beneath and close to the roof #Roofing
Employers must ensure that ladders are inspected by a competent person for visible defects on a periodic basis and after any occurrence that could affect their safe use according to OSHA requirements #SafetyFirstFriday#RoofingSafety
Guardrail systems must be able to withstand a 200-pound force in any outward or downward direction within 2 inches of the top edge #SafetyFirstFriday#RoofingSafety

The Work at Height Regulations 2005 should always be used when working at height to plan the work. It lays out a hierarchy of the different measures that can be taken where work must be undertaken at height #SafetyFirstFriday#Roofing
#SafetyFirstFriday Before beginning the job, focus on identifying fall protection needs. Survey the roof to determine if there are pre-installed anchorages available that can be used. If not, then plan immediately to protect workers from falls #RoofingSafety
#SafetyFirstFriday Employers must provide roofers with fall protection equipment that meets OSHA requirements whenever they work 6 feet or more above a lower level #RoofingSafety#Advice#Roof
#SafetyFirstFriday All roofs should be treated as fragile until a competent person has confirmed they are not. Do not trust any sheeted #roof, whatever the material, to bear the weight of a person.
#SafetyFirstFriday Sloping roofs require scaffolding to prevent people or materials falling from the edge. You must also fit edge protection to the eaves of any roof and on terraced properties to the rear as well as the front #Roofing#Roof
