Why Your Roofing Industry Clients Need Workers’ Compensation
While working in the roofing industry, your clients may encounter many different types of injury risks. These include:
- Falls from roofs, scaffolding, or other heights, which can result in injuries like broken bones, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), and spinal cord injuries
- Other slip-and-fall risks, such as tripping over debris or equipment around the roofing site
- Heat-related illnesses from working in hot conditions, including dehydration and heat stroke
- Cold weather hazards, which can cause conditions like hypothermia and increase the risk of slip-and-falls
- Roofing equipment, like nail guns, which can cause injuries like lacerations if improperly used or maintained
- Electrical hazards, like exposed wire at a roofing site, which can lead to serious or even fatal electrocution injuries
- Lifting injuries from carrying heavy equipment or roofing materials
- Repetitive motion injuries, like carpal tunnel, which can occur from performing the same movements throughout the workday
Luckily, there are many different ways your roofing industry clients can reduce risks like these, including offering safety training and providing the necessary personal protective equipment to protect workers from slip-and-falls, lifting injuries, and more.
