How Economy puts safety first:
Training
Fall-Arrest &
Prevention Training

Fall-arrest & fall-prevention training

Fall arrest and fall protection are critical components of safety measures in roofing, where workers are frequently exposed to heights and the risk of falling. Fall arrest systems typically involve the use of harnesses, lanyards, and anchor points to arrest a worker's fall should they slip or lose balance. These systems are designed to minimize the impact of a fall and prevent serious injuries or fatalities. Fall protection, on the other hand, focuses on preventing falls altogether by implementing guardrails, safety nets, and warning lines to create a safer working environment. Both fall arrest and fall protection strategies are essential for ensuring the safety of roofing professionals and complying with workplace safety regulations.

At Economy Roofing, we prioritize the safety of our employees by providing comprehensive training and education on fall-arrest and fall-protection techniques. Our training programs cover the proper use of safety equipment, such as harnesses and lanyards, as well as the identification of potential fall hazards on roofing sites. We emphasize the importance of regular equipment inspections and maintenance to ensure that all safety gear is in optimal condition. Additionally, our employees receive instruction on emergency procedures and rescue techniques to respond effectively in the event of a fall. By investing in thorough training and education, we empower our team to work confidently and safely at heights, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries on the job.

Trainings include:

  • Proper usage of fall-arrest equipment
  • Identification and mitigation of fall hazards
  • Emergency procedures and rescue techniques
  • OSHA regulations and compliance requirements

Procedures
Periodic & Unannounced Inspections

Periodic & Unannounced Inspections

Unannounced and periodic inspections play a crucial role in maintaining the quality and safety standards of roofing installations. Unannounced inspections involve surprise visits by qualified inspectors to roofing sites to assess ongoing work, ensuring compliance with industry regulations and company standards. These inspections help identify any potential issues or deviations from safety protocols early on, allowing for prompt corrective action. On the other hand, periodic inspections are scheduled assessments conducted at regular intervals throughout the lifespan of a roofing system. These inspections aim to monitor the condition of the roof, detect signs of wear and tear, and address any maintenance needs proactively. By conducting both unannounced and periodic inspections, Economy Roofing ensures the integrity and longevity of roofing projects, prioritizing safety and quality for all its clients.

At Economy Roofing, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of quality and safety through our comprehensive inspection protocols. Our team of experienced inspectors conducts both unannounced and periodic inspections to guarantee the integrity of every roofing installation. Unannounced inspections serve as a proactive measure to monitor ongoing work and enforce adherence to safety regulations, while periodic inspections help identify potential issues before they escalate into larger problems. Through meticulous inspections and attention to detail, we provide peace of mind to our clients, knowing that their roofing systems are built to last and withstand the test of time.

Our inspection procedures include:

  • Regular assessments to identify potential hazards and ensure compliance
  • Unannounced spot checks to verify adherence to safety protocols
  • Documentation of findings and prompt corrective actions when necessary
  • Continuous improvement initiatives based on inspection results to enhance safety performance and mitigate risks.
