Finland’s Ministry of Social Affairs and Health estimates that more than 7,500 people die from work-related deaths. The most common cause work-related deaths are falls. And the thing about falls is that they often happen over a high point to a low point.
This may be a surprise, but roofers are particularly prone to falling.
Any good roofing company worth their salt makes sure they have a thorough safety program to cover fall protection and secures their workers. Workers are usually required to wear a full body harness. It’s the most common type used.
A single story roof is usually 12-14 feet high. At the apex of the roof, it may even be 25 feet high. Even at 12 feet, a fall from this height could cause serious damage.
No matter what the roofing job is, make sure that the company you choose has a written safety program. This ensures they have worker’s comp insurance worst case scenario.
