When you're trying to choose the right industrial roofing company, you want to know more about them than just the quote. Profile Industrial Roofing Service Ltd (Profile) have over 25 years of experience providing roofing for industrial and commercial companies, working alongside your management team to adjust the schedule of work around your business.
Profile also take care of the health and safety impact of the site for both their team and your employees. In fact, Profile are very proud of their safety record. Here's just a brief glance at some of the more common things they consider:
WORKING AT HEIGHT – H&S ON YOUR ROOFING
One of the key pieces of health and safety legislation we comply with is working at height. All of our employees have completed rooftop safety courses. We employ the use of scaffolding, harnesses and other measures to keep our team safe, and consider things such as walking on wet panels, slip hazards and the potential weaknesses of old, damaged roofing panels.
There can be serious consequences if we drop tools or materials from height. That's why hard hats matter in construction environments. We use netting or other safety measures to stop anything dropping onto your expensive machinery.
No roof is straightforward. We often encounter roofs that are unusually shaped, have obstructions to work around or are not accessible by scaffolding. There is always a way around, so we look for alternate safety solutions.
OPERATING PLANT IN A CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENT
As part of the planning to replace your industrial roofing, we inform you of large plant equipment we bring on to site. Our team will have telehandler and forklift truck licenses. We may also use MEWP (mobile elevated work platforms) and cherry pickers. We always have the right equipment for the job – and our team are licensed and qualified to use them.
Health and safety around plant doesn't just mean looking after large machinery. We use power and hand tools, which are regularly checked. Even when in proper working order there can be personal risk to health from long-term exposure to hand-arm vibrations.
THE DANGER OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES IN ROOFING
Roofers handle chemicals and hazardous substances other than asbestos, such as mastic sealant. Our felting process includes torch-applied and roll-and-pour bitumen felting, which involves handling very hot substances or gas-powered flames. Cold liquid waterproofing contains reactive chemicals.
Using hazardous substances has serious potential health risks to our team, such as dangers to skin or respiratory ailments. Everyone wears the correct safety equipment and workwear. And we also consider the work environment, including wind speeds and the potential of gusts blowing liquids onto workers or people below.
WORKING ENVIRONMENT AND SERVICES ON INDUSTRIAL ROOFING
There's one more hazard to consider on a rooftop – and that's what's going on over our heads. We always perform a full site inspection before starting work. We check for overhead cables, as well as any services that are under the existing roof panel which remain the client's responsibility. We will discuss all of your obligations during the planning phase. Preparation is a key part of the health and safety process.
HEALTH AND SAFETY ACCREDITATIONS
If this all sounds very daunting, don't worry. As we said, we are proud of our safety record on site. We proactively train our workforce to cover all aspects of health and safety and hold Safe Contractor, CHAS and Constructionline Gold accreditations.
When you're trying to choose the right industrial roofing company, it's not just about the price. Ask about our health and safety record, and you'll see that the safety of your team and ours is our top priority.
