Answers To Roofing Quiz

Answer: 5. All of the above.

Roofers can use a variety of equipment when working at height and it depends on the nature of the job, access and safety assessment to determine if a ladder is required or if they need scaffolding. This quick assessment will ensure that the likelihood of a personal injury claim is reduced.

Some jobs such as replacing a tile close to the edge of the roof or clearing guttering can be done using a ladder, but tiling a complete roof will require more safety equipment due to the time it will take to complete the task and how far of the roof the person will need to be positioned.
