At Diamond View, we understand the critical importance of carrying out a fragile roof risk assessment. Working on fragile roofs presents significant hazards, as different materials pose varying levels of risk. Without a proper assessment, workers may be exposed to serious dangers, including falls and structural failures.

Identifying Risks on Fragile Roofs

Using our Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs), we can safely conduct a thorough visual inspection to identify areas that could pose a potential threat. Fragile roofing materials, such as asbestos cement, corroded metal sheets, and deteriorated roof panels, require careful assessment to ensure they can withstand necessary work activities.

Implementing Safety Measures

Once risks are identified, we take proactive steps to enhance safety, including:

  • Fragile Roof Caution Signage – Clearly marking hazardous areas to prevent accidental access.
  • Risk Registers – Documenting identified risks and mitigation strategies to ensure compliance with safety regulations.
  • Site Maps & Access Planning – Creating detailed site plans that outline safe access routes and restricted zones, ensuring a structured approach to working at height.


Why Choose Professional Risk Assessments?

  • Prevents Accidents – Identifying and addressing fragile roof hazards reduces the risk of falls and injuries.
  • Ensures Legal Compliance – Meeting health and safety regulations protects both workers and businesses from liability.
  • Enhances Work Efficiency – A well-planned risk assessment allows for safer and more efficient roof work.
