Scaffolding Risk Management for Roofers

The scaffolding industry remains in the top three most cited occupational safety violations, with the most frequent violation being “Each employee on a scaffold more than 10 feet above a lower level shall be protected form falling to that lower level.”

The nature of scaffolding work means when erecting and dismantling scaffolding, scaffolders are exposed to the risk of a fall – a risk increased by frequent rain, high winds and icy conditions at work.

V-TEC have created a scaff hook/karabiner that attaches quickly and easily to horizontal, vertical or joining scaffolding. Attached to a self-retracting lanyard, the durable technology involves energy absorbing material to keep scaffolders safe at work. The Scaff hook is also suitable for ladder work and is recommended by the National Access and Scaffolding Safety Confederation in the UK.
