Roof guidance

The HSE has published a revised version of its Working on roofs leaflet. Falls account for more deaths and serious injuries in construction than anything else and roofers account for 24% – the biggest category of worker by far – of people who are killed in all falls from height. The guidance covers the Work at Height Regulations.
