Working safely

Working at heights requires means of prevention which also extend to both the environment and the people nearby. Our roofers define a security perimeter before each project. If necessary, they can reroute traffic by installing sidewalks cones, road signs, and other prevention tools. Passersby and occupants are thereby notified of the work in progress. In addition, our team ensures compliance with safety criteria at work, namely:

  • Electrical safety.
  • Handling of materials.
  • Fall prevention.
  • Security perimeter of the work zone.
  • Scaffolding and guardrails.
  • Individual safety equipment.
