Roofers account for nearly a quarter of all workers killed in falls from height. Moreover, falls through fragile materials, such as roof lights and asbestos cement roofing sheets, account for more of these deaths than any other cause. Accordingly, this revised edition contains enhanced guidance on how to plan and work safely.
Encompassing pertinent subjects such as new buildings, repair, maintenance, cleaning work and demolition, it also includes safety pre-emption advice for those not directly carrying out roof work such as clients, designers and specifiers. Also examines the equally critical issue of protecting the public when undertaking roof work and provides instructive guidance on safety training and competence for roofers.
