A roof may look perfectly fine from the ground - but frost can turn it into a sheet of ice. โš ๏ธ DO NOT TAKE THE RISK. A fall from a roof can have life-changing consequences. It is simply not worth taking the risk. ๐Ÿšจ Before starting work: ๐Ÿ”ด STOP AND ASSESS THE CONDITIONS ๐Ÿ”ด Check roofs, ladders, scaffolding and access points for frost and ice ๐Ÿ”ด Do not work on surfaces that cannot be made safe ๐Ÿ”ด Use suitable PPE and safe access equipment ๐Ÿ”ด Keep work areas and access routes clear ๐Ÿ”ด Monitor conditions throughout the day ๐Ÿ”ด If it's unsafe โ€” STOP WORK. No job is so urgent that it is worth risking your life or someone else's. Take the extra time. Make it safe. Go home safely. ๐Ÿฆบโ„๏ธ #roofing #roofers #roofingsafety #healthandsafety #winterroofing #frost #workingatheight #roofwork #safetyfirst #safeworking #corc

High-pressure doorstep selling can leave homeowners agreeing to expensive work before theyโ€™ve had time to properly check the problem, compare prices or research the contractor. ๐Ÿ”ด Never feel forced to make a decision on the spot. ๐Ÿ”ด Get everything in writing. ๐Ÿ”ด Get a second opinion where possible. ๐Ÿ”ด Check who you are dealing with. ๐Ÿ”ด Donโ€™t hand over money simply because someone says the work is urgent. A reputable roofing contractor should be happy for you to take time to consider your options. If someone is pressuring you at your front door, close the door and take a step back. You do not have to agree to anything. Your roof is important and so is protecting yourself. ๐Ÿ  #roofing #roofingadvice #consumeradvice #doorstep #pressureSelling #roofrepairs #roofers #consumerprotection #corc

Working at height in strong or gusty winds can increase the risk to roofers, homeowners and anyone nearby. Why does wind matter? Strong winds can: ๐Ÿ”นMake working at height unstable and dangerous ๐Ÿ”นMake ladders, scaffolding and roof access more difficult to use safely ๐Ÿ”นCause roofing materials, tools and equipment to become airborne ๐Ÿ”นMake large sheets, membranes and insulation particularly difficult to handle ๐Ÿ”นIncrease the risk of slips, trips and falls ๐Ÿ”นCreate additional risks around scaffolding and temporary structures A competent roofing contractor should assess the conditions before and during the work and stop or postpone work where the conditions become unsafe. The below measurements are from the Beaufort Wind Scale: CONTINUE WORK AS NORMAL โœ”๏ธ 4 โ€“ 7 mph is classed as a light breeze 8 โ€“ 12 mph is classed as gentle breeze 13 โ€“ 18 mph is classed as moderate breeze CARE TO BE TAKEN, BALANCE WILL BE AFFECTED โš ๏ธ 19 โ€“ 24 mph is classed as fresh breeze CEASE WORK ๐Ÿ›‘ 25 โ€“ 31 mph is classed as strong breeze 32 โ€“ 38 mph is classed as near gale 39 โ€“ 46 mph is classed as gale 47 โ€“ 54 mph is classed as strong gale 55 โ€“ 63 mph is classed as storm 64 โ€“ 72 mph is classed as violent storm The above guidance is for working at height. #roofing #roofers #roofingsafety #healthandsafety #workingatheight #windyweather #strongwinds #roofwork #roofingcontractor #roofmaintenance #homeowners #corc
