1. EVALUATE YOUR FALL PROTECTION NEEDS:

• Plan ahead to get the job done safely.
• Assess areas on your rooftop that require access.

2. ASSESS THE RISKS:

• Are my employees or contractors at risk of a fall?
• Am I exposing my company to unnecessary fines?

3. IMPLEMENT A SOLUTION:

• Provide the right fall protection equipment.

Most jurisdictions require the use of specific fall protection measures before, or in addition to, personal protective equipment (PPE). These measures generally include the use of some of the following:

fixed barriers (e.g., handrails, guardrails)

surface opening protection (e.g., covers, guardrails, etc.)

warning barriers/control zones

fall or travel restraint systems (i.e., a system to prevent a worker from falling from a work position, or from travelling to an unguarded edge from which the worker could fall)

fall containment system (e.g., safety nets)

fall arrest systems (i.e., a system that will stop a worker’s fall before the worker hits the surface below)

There may also be specific legal requirements around use of equipment like ladders and scaffolding.

Occupational health and safety laws generally require action when a worker has the potential to fall about 3 metres (10 feet). In most cases, fall protection is required when:

other means of fall protection are not available or possible, such as guardrails

working at a height of 3 metres or more (permanent and/or temporary work areas)

working at a height of less than 3 metres when the surface below could cause a greater injury than just the fall (e.g., machinery; risk of drowning in water or other liquid; open tanks, vats, or pits containing hazardous materials; materials that can shift)

a worker may fall through an opening in the work surface

it is determined that fall protection is necessary
