One of the main causes of deaths and injuries at work each year is falling from height, particularly through or from roofs. To ensure safety during roofwork requires the commitment of all those involved in the procurement process. This publication aims to give advice on how this can be achieved, by addressing:

• The planning of, and safe systems of work for,work at height;
• The selection and use of work equipment for work at height;
• The management and supervision of work at height;
• The competence of workers performing work at height; and
• The role designers can play in limiting hazards.
