ph. 800-504-4016Roofing, roof top repairs, cleaning, and periodic inspection present fall protection safety challenges to construction and building maintenance personnel. Roof tops often harbor tripping and fall hazards such as sky lights, HVAC equipment, roof hatches, communications towers and antennae. These elements often combine with slipping risks associated with pitched roofs and poor footing conditions due to weather conditions such as wind, snow, rain, and ice, requiring a comprehensive fall protection strategy. While fall arrest and fall restraint systems can look similar from one application to the next, each building, and each roof top presents its own set of risks and hazards in need of mitigation.
