Frequently asked questions
Common questions about roofer RAMS.
When should I use scaffold instead of ladders?
HSE guidance says use a working platform (scaffold tower, MEWP, or full scaffold) for any roof work. Ladders are only suitable for short-duration, low-risk access—not as a working platform.
How do I word fragile roof controls in a RAMS?
State that no person shall pass across or near a fragile surface unless suitable staging, crawl boards or platforms are provided. Reference the Work at Height Regulations 2005 Schedule 5.
What wind and rain stop criteria should be included?
Specify wind speed thresholds (typically 23 mph sustained / 35 mph gusts for general work at height). Include daily weather checks and a decision matrix for stop / continue.
