Fragile roofs, including those made of glass, asbestos, or rotten wood, can be hazardous to cross, even for experienced professionals. The risk of falling through the roof is high, and the consequences can be severe, including serious injury or even death.

To ensure a safe crossing, a systematic approach is necessary. This includes:

1. Conducting a thorough risk assessment to identify potential hazards.

Before crossing a fragile roof, it's crucial to assess its condition. This includes checking for signs of damage, wear, and tear, and identifying potential weak spots. Our team uses specialized equipment to inspect the roof and determine the best course of action.

The risks associated with fragile roofs are numerous and include:

• Falling through the roof
