Inspection of Damaged Roofs After a Storm

Not only the rooftop needs to be inspected. The installations on a roof also need to be checked for damages or even repaired.

The first step should be ensuring the structure is stable, and that you and other personnel can enter the roof surface without danger of a collapse or falling through.

Personal protection

Secondly, ensure that all those who have to access the roof are aware of the safety procedures and are equipped with the proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as protective boots, safety glasses, a safety helmet and gloves. Additionally, depending on what type of fall protection is necessary to keep workers safe, fall protection PPE needs to be worn. 

Clear any debris of the roof, but be sure to do this safely. Do not block your vision when carrying materials. Be careful in removing debris. Debrismay be hiding a hole in the structure, that could lead to a fall. And don’t step on debris if it is unstable, you could slip and maybe even fall over a roof edge.

Check for any damages to the roof surface, such as holes, punctures or roofing material that came loose. These do not only pose a risk to the structure but also create a trip hazard.

Pay special attention to skylights and chimneys during rooftop inspection, if your roof has any, as the flashing around these installations may have become damaged. You got to be careful around skylights, most of them cannot carry the weight of a person and leaning on them, or stepping on them can cause you to fall through them.
