Many roofing contractors do not have safety managers. Roofing is a dangerous job; The Electronic Library of Construction Occupational Safety and Health (ELCOSH) reports the profession has the fifth-highest work-related death rate in construction. That grim news is reason enough for any roofer working on your home’s roof to be under the watchful care of a safety manager.
Extra Protection
Keeping our roofers safe also keeps our homeowners safe. The extra protection we provide our diligent, highly trained roofing crews also keeps our clients safe from the risk of workers’ liens, liability issues, or even lawsuits.
The safety steps we implement with our employees extend to our actions to keep our clients, their pets, and their landscaping safe.
- Fall arrest gear
- Personal protective equipment (PPE)
- A near-miss reporting system
- Weekly safety meetings
Safety Inspections
Some disreputable roofers hire day crews from the parking lots of big-box home improvement stores. Good roofers do not. They have the same crews day in, day out. Great roofers such as Westfall Roofing have dedicated crews overseen by attentive safety managers. These safety managers inspect job sites:
- Safety managers ensure all equipment is in working order.
- They verify roofers are properly harnessed in fall arrest gear.
- Safety managers check that the client’s property is shielded from falling debris.
- They confirm with the project manager that the client’s home, pets, and property are protected.
