Site Health & Safety

Health & Safety requirements

Your installer is required UNDER LAW to comply with the requirements of the Health & Safety in Employment Act and Regulations.

Protection of workers when working at height is mandatory under the Act and essential for their personal safety and safety of others on the site.

The company you employ must take ALL PRACTICAL STEPS to ensure the site is safe and adequate precautions have been taken to protect workers and others.

When working at height, fall protection equipment may include (but not limited to) the installation of:

– A roof edge protection system

– Scaffolding system

Installation of health & safety protection equipment is a cost to the property owner.

The installation company should advise you of what health & safety equipment is required for your particular job.  This information and the cost should be clearly detailed on the written quotation/contract.
