ROOFWORK GUIDANCE UPDATE

‘Health and Safety in Roofwork’ new edition now published

Roofers make up nearly a quarter of all worker fatalities involving falls from height at work. Falls through fragile materials e.g. roof lights and fibre cement sheets, account for more of these deaths than any other single cause. This third edition of Health and safety in Roofwork contains guidance on: how to plan and work safely on roofs; new buildings, repair, maintenance, cleaning work and demolition and; guidance for those not directly carrying out work on a roof such as clients, designers and specifiers.
