With the long winter ahead, it is important to keep roof safety at the forefront. Maintaining HVAC/RTU units, vents, flags, and security cameras, in addition to roof and skylight repair, can be especially difficult when the snow keeps falling.
While there is usually a focus on rooftop safety in the colder months, as slippery surfaces create higher risk, fall protection needs to be a focus year-round. Working at any height brings the risk of potential life-long injuries that can absolutely be avoided by taking extra time and having the right equipment.
Keep Your Workers Safe
As employees enter into these probably hazardous rooftop environments, it is essential for employers to have a roof safety system in place to avoid a potentially disastrous situation. There are so many options for rooftop fall protection that your workers should never need to be in a place of danger.
Home Safety Awareness
Roof safety isn’t just for workplaces but also for homes. Two common reasons householders will be up at heights; are clearing the leaves from your eavestroughs and putting up Christmas lights.
Slippery rooftops or ladders on snowy paths can be a huge risk, and many homeowners find themselves with an unplanned visit to the ER by just trying to complete a simple task.
Falls can be life-changing and can happen at any time of the year. For a homeowner, it is best to get a professional in to clean your eavestroughs, and there are companies who will install Christmas lights for you with rooftop fall protection equipment. Many roof installers offer this service because they have the equipment to safely install what you need.
