Don't fall for fragile
The roofing industry has made real progress in preventing falls from height. But fragile roofs remain one of the most serious and persistent risks in roofing. A fragile roof can fail without warning. One wrong step can lead to life-changing injury or death.
This Campaign Is Not About Paperwork. It Is About Planning.
Too many fragile roof incidents happen because people assume the roof is safe, rely on experience or accept the cheapest access solution without properly considering the risk. Don’t Fall for Fragile is about changing that mindset.
Before anyone steps onto or near a fragile roof, the work must be properly planned, the roof condition understood and the right access and fall prevention measures put in place. The message is simple: Don’t step through. Step back and plan.
Any organisation can pledge support for the Don’t Fall for Fragile campaign. By pledging support, you are confirming that your organisation understands the risks associated with fragile roofs and is committed to promoting safer planning, access and working practices across its workforce and supply chain.
