Electrical contact in Roofing
Electrical contact in Roofing

Roofers frequently secure insulation with mechanical upgrades to their existing roof.
Electrical workers risk exposure to electricity as one of their occupational hazards.
Electrical wiring or cables can be installed directly below the roofing material, or running along the underside of a building’s exterior.
Electrical workers are at risk of being electrocuted when working with their equipment.
Cutting decks also pose dangers such as kickback from saws and fire.

Consider keeping wary of the roof when conducting work.

At the owner’s request, confirm that any wiring or plumbing is located outside of the planned cutting area. Doing so reduces the likelihood of electrocution if electrical equipment is placed at the base of the platform.

Look for wires and cables below the roof on the building’s interior when possible.

Before cutting into a concrete ceiling, use X-ray photography to view the area first.

Making holes in the roof deck requires removing the membrane system first.

Ask to be provided with an outlet that is out of sight and unavailable. Then, lock it so it’s unusable.

If electrical power cannot be shut off or otherwise blocked out, instruct them to change the location of the opened hole. Electrical energy can cause severe damage to the body or death if contact is maintained. Do not disconnect the line until confirming no utilities remain in the area.

Watch the roof when sealing it with mechanical means— be certain to include electrical boxes inside the building before commencing. Consider enlisting outside surveillance of the project, possibly through two-way communication with someone monitoring from inside.

Inspect electrical connections with a radio scanner to find any that are not yet completed. Mark these zones so electrical damage won’t occur when connecting wires.

Check the lower parts of the work area when walking around.
If you want to use this equipment, staff training on its use is recommended.

The EPI — or Edge Detection Summation — is very important to DDS.

Before starting work, employees need to learn how to safely manage their jobs through safety talks.

Generic Safety Talks must be adjusted to the work front’s reality by a professional in the area of Safety, Environment and Health; as well as company leaders and sectors. This is because the talks are only intended to conceptualize a theoretical front. Only the person who conducts the Safety Talks must shoulder this duty!
