Q. What are the key hazards addressed in roofing RAMS?
Common hazards include working at height, manual handling, chemical exposure (resins, catalysts), slips/trips, fire risks, environmental spills, adverse weather, and site traffic. Controls are specified for each hazard.
Q. What daily checks should I perform to keep the site safe?
Use the TriRoof RAMS Checklist to verify documentation, worker competence, PPE, work area safety, chemical storage, equipment condition, waste management, emergency procedures, welfare facilities, and end-of-day close-out.
