Preview Health and safety in roof work
Description:
Working on roofs is a hazardous activity because it involves working at height. Roof
work accounts for a quarter of all deaths in the construction industry. Falls through
fragile materials, such as roof lights and asbestos cement roofing sheets, account for
more of these deaths than any other single cause. Not all the people killed while
working on roofs are trained roofers: many people accessing roofs are maintenance
workers. There are also many serious injuries, often resulting in permanent disabilities.
This fifth edition contains guidance on how to plan and work safely on roofs. It covers
new buildings, repair, maintenance, cleaning work and demolition. It also includes some
guidance for people not directly carrying out work on a roof, such as clients, designers
and specifiers.
Roof work is an issue not just for construction companies. Other workers, such as
building maintenance staff and surveyors, can also fall from or through roofs. This
guidance will be useful to anyone planning, arranging or supervising roof work
