Evidence to Attach
- • Roof access permit and edge protection checklists
- • Rescue plan with trained personnel
- • Weather monitoring and supervisor authorisation record
Key Risks to Control
- • Falls from unprotected edges
- • Fragile surfaces and rooflights
- • Weather-driven instability and slip risk
Practical Controls
- • Edge protection and rescue arrangements verified daily
- • Fragile roof exclusion zones with cover systems
- • Wind/weather trigger thresholds and stop-work criteria

Roofing RAMS FAQs
Can rooflight work be covered in a generic roofing RAMS?
Only if fragile-surface controls are explicit and adequate. Many projects require a dedicated section or addendum for rooflights.
What rescue details should roofing RAMS include?
Include rescue equipment location, trained responders, response times, and communication method for suspended/fall incidents.
Do weather thresholds need numeric triggers?
Yes. Use objective wind/rain criteria so supervisors can make consistent stop/go decisions.
