It’s without question that every roofing job comes with its fair share of risks for the owner, workers and the structure.

In today’s post, Roofer Chicks®, the authority on roof repairs, shares how to increase safety during a commercial roofing project.
Create Guidelines and Procedures
Before starting the project, make sure that you come up with guidelines that will make the roofing project safer for all parties involved. Additionally, you can create procedures that have safety in mind to ensure that the project will undergo smoothly so that there’s a less risk of accidents while getting the job done properly and timely. With that said, these implementations have to be properly communicated and strictly enforced.
Ensure Everyone Is Using Protective Gear
When working on any project, whether it be roof replacement, or repair, everyone involved should have the proper safety equipment equipped. This equipment include safety gloves, steel toe boots, helmets, masks and protective glasses. Workers should also use harnesses if they’re moving from floor to floor. It’s also good practice to add walkway paths for another layer of cushioning.
