Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist supports roofers, tilers and site supervisors to safely plan and carry out pitched roof tiling and slating projects. It guides you through the essential safety steps required before work begins, ensuring that edge protection, scaffold access, manual handling of heavy tiles and slates, and weather conditions are all properly assessed. By following the questions you confirm that the necessary risk assessments, method statements and competent supervision are in place, and that the work environment meets the requirements of the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.

Use this checklist for:

  • Assessing edge protection and scaffold access
  • Confirming safe loading and manual handling of tiles and slates
  • Checking working platforms, roof ladders and weather conditions
  • Controlling dropped objects and exclusion zones below the work area
  • Managing dust from cutting and handling of materials

Each question is answered with Yes, No or N/A, providing a clear record of compliance before any work starts. The checklist is designed to be easy to complete on site, either on paper or digitally, and can be incorporated into daily safety briefings.

Fully editable and shareable

Compliant with: Work at Height Regulations 2005, Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.
