Working in Roof Spaces (Roofing)
Work within residential and commercial roof spaces - cabling, ducting, equipment installation and inspections - in restricted, hot voids with fragile ceilings and live wiring.
Objective
Work in roof spaces safely so workers do not fall through ceilings, overheat, contact live wiring or disturb hazardous insulation - through crawl boards on structure, heat-stress controls, electrical isolation, asbestos do-not-disturb and a rescue plan.
This is the Roofing version. The hazards and controls are written around roofing work, so it differs from the other 6 trade versions of Working in Roof Spaces. Compare all 7.
Built by WHS professionals, written for your state
Every document is built by WHS professionals. Each state version references the Act, regulator, and requirements for the state you select. Victoria gets the OHS Act and WorkSafe Victoria, NSW gets the WHS Act and SafeWork NSW.
