Most Dangerous Jobs: Roofing

Roofing isn’t just about laying down shingles and hammering in some nails. It’s a delicate and dangerous craft that, if done improperly, poses risks not only to the worker but also to the integrity and longevity of the structure. Every year, homeowners are tempted to save a few bucks by trying their hand at this perilous task, only to realize the inherent risks and complexities. Professional roofing companies like Wagner Roofing possess the expertise, experience, and equipment to ensure your roof is not only aesthetically pleasing but also structurally sound and long-lasting. Trusting a pro isn’t just about quality; it’s about safety.


Certification & Bonding

Entering the roofing profession isn’t as simple as buying a ladder and some tools. Roofers undergo rigorous certification processes, ensuring they know the ins and outs of materials, techniques, and safety protocols. Bonding, on the other hand, is a guarantee to the homeowner: a promise that the job will be done right. Roofing contractors and laborers need to satisfy strict bonding requirements, providing homeowners with a layer of protection against potential disputes or unsatisfactory work. When you hire a professional, you’re getting the assurance of a thoroughly vetted expert.


Injuries & Insurance

Roofing is notorious for its high-risk nature. Falls from elevated surfaces are one of the most common accidents, leading to severe injuries or even fatalities. Moreover, the risk of burns from hot tar, cuts from sharp tools, and strains from lifting heavy materials are ever-present. Employers, recognizing these dangers, must provide comprehensive insurance for on-the-job accidents. This insurance not only safeguards the workers but also shields homeowners from potential liabilities. When hiring a roofing company, understanding their insurance coverage ensures both their and your protection.


Safety First

To counteract the inherent dangers of the job, roofing professionals are equipped with a plethora of safety gear and must adhere to strict safety checks. From harnesses that prevent fatal falls to helmets that shield against falling objects, every piece of equipment has its essential place. Before work even begins, thorough site assessments and safety protocols are established to make the workplace as stable as possible. These procedures minimize incidents, ensuring a smoother and safer workflow. It isn’t an exaggeration to say that in roofing, safety gear and checks are as vital as the roofing materials themselves.
