When on a construction site, a worker can never be too careful. It is important to have your crew remain safe at all times. Here are the top five rooftop safety hazards that roofers should be aware of.

• Roof Stability- Is the roof stable and strong enough to support the weight of a worker? A roofer should always check the underlayment before going onto a roof.
• Ladder Security- Is the ladder secure and at a proper angle? Are the feet secure? Many fatalities occur due to poorly placed ladders.
• Roof Holes- An open hole on a roof can be just as deadly as a roof’s edge without fall protection.
• Edge Awareness- When roofers are engaged in their work, they can sometimes forget where the roof edge is.
• Improper Training- When there are workers on the roof, it is important that they are properly trained so they do not cause serious injury to themselves or others.
