Did you know that every year falls account for more than one-third of all construction fatalities? In fact, one out of every four deaths in the construction industry is due to a fall. Most falls occur when roofers are working on sloped roofs or when they are working around other openings such as skylights.
To help prevent falls, roofers must be trained in proper safety procedures and always wear fall protection gear, such as a harness, when required to work on a roof. Furthermore, only qualified roofers should be allowed to work on a roof – in many jurisdictions, a special license is required to perform roofing work. And special training should also be provided for those who carry supplies to the roofers, even if they are not performing roofing duties.
In Episode 29 of the OSHA Oops Podcast, join safety experts Michael and Rick as they discuss some common roofing accidents, fall protection requirements, how to avoid an injury-related citation, and who should be wearing a harness. This week’s featured citation cost one California company more than $16,000, and worse, an employee with extensive injuries after a 9 ft. fall with no fall protection.
