Even if you’re being careful, there are inherent dangers to working on a roof, regardless of your height. New Zealand has a high rate of roof-related falls. Regulations have changed to reflect this fact in recent years.
Roof edge protection systems are essential for safety. INTAKS has some great tips to help you make the most of your edge protection.
