Working at Roof Safety
A type of work at height is
to work on a roof so almost all the control measures which we apply on work at
height will be used with this activity.
First step is preparing the work area at the roof. This will include safe access/egress and edge protection systems needs to install and safety harness is available specifically at the entrance which could be at access/egress point.
Training for the personal related to their job safety and safe system of work to be conducted and ensure it is understood.
Establish exclusion zone to avoid the unauthorized entry to that area with adequate signs.
Rescue team is assigned and rescue arrangements are in place. This is most important thing to consider because if a worker fall and if we don’t have emergency rescue arrangements it will hang for a long time and blood circulation may stop because of body weight to safety harness.
