Roofing Fall Protection
Two construction workers crouch on the rafters of an unfinished building. They wear harnesses hooked to anchors as their roofing fall protection.

Roofing Fall Protection

ATS offers various methods of roofing fall protection. Roofing conditions present various dangers that increase the chances of a deadly slip, trip, or fall at a worksite. Common fall hazards on a roof include:
  • Edges
  • Holes
  • Ledges
  • Skylights
  • Damaged roofing material
  • Ineffective fall protection systems
  • Sloping and slippery surfaces
High winds, precipitation, and other weather conditions can exacerbate the dangers. ATS mitigates these fall hazards through employee training, site improvement, and the design and installation of fall protection systems. ATS has years of experience navigating regulations for construction and worker safety from organizations such as:
Fall Prevention Services

A fall prevention system blocks access to a hazardous location. We can install a system of guardrails around the perimeter to physically stop people from falling over the edge. Falls do not just endanger the falling person; they also threaten people below with falling debris and equipment. Toe boards at the bottom of a guardrail can provide additional fall prevention for small objects.

Fall Protection Systems
ATS also designs and fabricates fall protection systems, which restrain workers from falling over an unprotected ledge. Unlike fall prevention systems, they do not stop a worker from accessing the hazardous area, only plunging to the next surface. Two major examples of fall protection systems are anchors and horizontal lifelines.
We can help create a personal fall arrest system (PFAS), a type of fall protection system that provides the last chance to catch a falling person. In this system, a worker wears a harness attached to a roof anchor with a lanyard. The anchor supports the worker’s weight while the lanyard restricts movement, so the worker cannot fall and hit a surface below. We can tailor our designs to your specifications and install the fall arrest system as a temporary or permanent fixture.
Fall Hazard Training and Evaluations
The best way to avoid a roofing fall is to eliminate the danger. A fall hazard evaluation from ATS identifies potential risks in a worksite and construction activities. During an evaluation, an ATS technician takes thorough records that form the basis of a safety plan. To save time and money long-term, consider enrolling your staff in fall hazard evaluation training. Experienced ATS personnel can teach your crew to:
