Our Thoughts on Project Safety
Construction work of any type is a high-risk undertaking,
and historically roofing has one of the highest accident
rates in the industry, primarily from falls. United
Roofing & Sheetmetal, Inc. takes an aggressive approach to
personnel safety, both for our staff and those occupying
our project sites. The
final result of our approach to safety is a safe working
environment, significant savings for you from our workman's
compensation rates, and a confident, efficient work force.
- Our first priority is site review and establishing a
safety plan specific to the conditions on each project.
- Daily safety inspections are completed by each foreman
for proper ladder and warning line set up, fall protection
integrity, and safe operating conditions for all equipment
on site.
- Random safety inspections are conducted by management
to ensure proper use of safety equipment.
- All personnel are trained in the use of company tools
and equipment, proper roofing procedures and on site safety.
- No open flame, hot tar, flammable adhesives, or other
hazardous chemicals are used in our roofing system.
- Regular safety meetings are conducted in house and on
site to ensure comprehension and compliance with all safety
policies and procedures.
