Ladders should be properly selected, positioned, secured, and used, and workers should understand safe transitions between ladders and roof surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial staging can also affect safety. Roofing bundles, tile, tools, and equipment add weight and can create trip or movement hazards. Materials should be positioned with consideration for structural conditions and safe access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWeather can create additional risks. Rain, dew, wind, heat, and changing surface conditions can affect traction, material handling, equipment operation, and worker exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePPE may include fall-protection equipment, gloves, eye protection, footwear, hearing protection, and respiratory protection depending on the task.
