Roof Safety Assessments
Understand your risks, improve compliance and plan maintenance safely
Why conduct a Roof Safety Assessment?
• Demonstrates a proactive approach to compliance & contractor control
• Reduces exposure to claims, enforcement action and business disruption
• Improves planning for maintenance, budgeting and remedial works
• Clarifies PPE, permit, training and access requirements for roof tasks.
• Helps protect employees, contractors and visitors from avoidable harm
• Records PPM assets and their locations at roof level
We survey each roof area & how and if safe access can be undertaken
ASSET REGISTER
We identify and collate existing access equipment, height safety assets & current status, along with detailing items that require regular PPM
ROOF PLAN
A plan of each roof area detailing items identified in the asset register. We then use a RAG system to colour code each roof area to indicate the current level of fall protection
REPORT & RECOMMENDATIONS
You will receive a detailed report compiling our findings, which will include:
• Recommendations on how roof safety could be potentially improved.
• Drawings for all current roof areas that are colour-coded to indicate the current level of fall protection
• Drawings for suggested improvements, from which an action plan can be created to prioritise works using a proposed revised RAG system.
The risks of doing nothing
Hidden risks remain unknown: Unsafe access routes and maintenance hazards may go unidentified. Increased liability: Contractors may work without sufficient information or controls.
Proof of compliance: Duty holders may struggle to demonstrate that roof work has been appropriately planned and controlled.
