Half-Day Training

Program Overview

Rooftop work is one of the highest-risk activities in construction and facilities management. Falls from roofs claim more lives than almost any other single cause of workplace fatality. Whether workers are installing solar panels, maintaining HVAC systems, inspecting waterproofing, or clearing drainage, the hazards of roof access — unprotected edges, fragile roof materials, skylights, and slopes — demand rigorous planning and robust fall protection systems. ICLM's Roof Access and Fall Protection Training provides workers and supervisors with the skills to access rooftops safely and manage fall hazards systematically.

Roof falls are almost always fatal or result in permanent disability. Unlike falls from lower heights, rooftop falls typically involve heights of 3 meters or more — and the consequences of uncontrolled falls from these heights are severe. Fragile roofs (asbestos cement, glass, light-gauge metal) are particularly dangerous because they give no warning before collapse. Workers walking on fragile materials are at immediate risk of fall-through.
