Inspection and treatment work inside residential and commercial roof voids for pest control, including baiting, proofing and carcass removal.

Objective

Complete the work safely by controlling fall-through-ceiling, heat, confined and restricted access, live wiring and biological and legacy asbestos hazards through structural-member-only access, crawl boards, heat scheduling, electrical isolation and respiratory protection.

This is the Pest Control version. The hazards and controls are written around pest control work, so it differs from the other 6 trade versions of Working in Roof Spaces. Compare all 7.
