Unprotected Edges

The roof edge is one of the most dangerous places and so you need to have a safety solution in place to protect workers.

Cutting-edge safety systems

The edge of the roof is the most visible hazard, and typically the hazard most people want to protect first. Roofs need to be accessed throughout the year for maintenance and repair purposes so it’s essential to make sure workers are protected from slips, trips and falls from the roof edge. EU and OSHA regulations require that if a worker can be exposed to a fall, then they must be protected. Our safety specialists are ready to ensure the safety of your team from any unprotected roof edge.

OSHA Compliance Zone Defense

OSHA compliance codes are central to how we assess the rooftop during a Safety Audit. Below is a brief overview of the zones of defence stipulated by OSHA.

Zone 2: When work is performed at least 6 feet (1.8 m) but less than 15 feet (4.6 m) from the roof edge, OSHA allows a guardrail system, safety net system, travel restraint system, or personal fall arrest system. The employer may use a designated area when performing work that is both infrequent and temporary.

Zone 3: When work is performed 15 feet (4.6 m) or more from the roof edge, the employer must: protect each employee from falling by a guardrail system, safety net system, travel restraint system, or personal fall arrest system or a designated area.

The Hierarchy of Fall Protection

A truly comprehensive rooftop solution follows the Hierarchy of Fall Protection. An expert starts by inspecting the roof site for potential fall hazards. From there, a complete system solution and recommendations are created that descend down the four levels of the hierarchy, from simple, sensible approaches for eliminating risks all the way down to lifesaving personal protection systems.

Collective Fall Protection Systems require no additional training to use. Work Restraint and Fall Arrest Systems both require a high level of user competency, training and additional inspection to be used properly.
