Roof work and fragile roofs

Treat every roof as fragile until checked. Plan access, guard edges, stay off the sheets.

Key points

  • Treat every roof as fragile until a competent person says it is not. Skylights and old cement sheets give way without warning.
  • First try to do the job from below, or from a MEWP basket, so nobody stands on the roof.
  • Where a fall of more than 2 metres is possible, Singapore law requires protection against sliding or falling, plus secure anchorage.
  • Never walk along the bolt lines. Use crawl boards or staging, and put warning signs at every access point.
