Roof work concentrates several hazards at once — unprotected edges, fragile surfaces, plant and services, and access that is often improvised. This programme addresses them together.
Roofs combine several hazards in one place: unprotected edges, fragile surfaces, roof-mounted plant and openings, and access that is often improvised. Fragile sheets and skylights are especially dangerous because they can be hidden, for example under or between solar panels.
The fall protection discipline is the same as for any work at height, with edge protection, anchors, harnesses and a rescue plan, plus one added rule: nobody steps where they cannot see the surface. The programme is particularly relevant to rooftop solar installation.

Utility-scale solar looks benign next to a wind turbine or a refinery. It is not. Live DC that cannot be switched off, heat, height and isolation make solar sites their own safety discipline.
