Roof Safety - Tips and Advice From SW Roofing

In order to be able to stay on a roof without risking falls to a lower level, roof safety is used in different designs. Roof safety devices are the devices that are installed to prepare access to roofs and workstations, as well as protective devices that are intended to prevent falls or falls of eg. snow and ice.

Roofing Saskatoon Laws, rules and regulations 

The requirements for roof protection devices that can be placed on a property are the Saskatoon National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's building regulations, and its predecessor. It can be said that the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning has carried out a general risk analysis and subsequently stipulated certain devices to minimize the risks associated with roof work. The building regulations change over time, but no retroactivity after 1960 does not apply to roof security. The building rules that applied at the property's construction year are those that still apply.
