Health and Safety on the Roof

The law says you must organise and plan all roof work so it is carried out safely.

All works on roofs’ are highly dangerous, even if the job only takes a few minutes. Therefore, we must take health and safety seriously and control risks sufficiently for our staff members and customers. Your roofing operative must be trained and competent.

A risk assessment and method statement is the common way to help manage work on roofs and communicate the precautions to those involved.

The key areas for consideration with roof works are; safe access to the roof, roof edges and openings and fragile surfaces.

Many accidents can be avoided if the most suitable equipment is used and the individuals doing the work are given adequate information, instruction, training and supervision.

• First aid and fire
