Set the task and area
Record the roof zone, work activity, access route and supporting drawings.
Roofing contractors
Plan roof access, edge protection, fragile areas, weather limits and rescue together
Make the roof zone, access, edges, fragile surfaces, weather limits and rescue arrangements visible in one project-specific record.
SiteHQ in practiceThe practical problem
Plan roof access, edge protection, fragile areas, weather limits and rescue together
A generic method statement can hide the details that make roof work different: how people reach the work area, where edges and fragile surfaces are, when weather stops work and how rescue will happen.

A practical example
From survey information to a review-ready roof-work plan
Keep the roof-work scope, drawings, evidence and RAMS connected with a dedicated roof-work, access and rescue plan.
Define the controls
List edge protection, fragile areas, fall restraint or arrest and exclusion zones.
Set operating limits
Record weather thresholds, inspection needs and stop-work arrangements.
Make rescue specific
Name the rescue method, equipment, people and communication route for review.
Relevant SiteHQ records
What is available—and what remains gated.
Status wording is deliberately explicit. A workflow being present in software does not by itself approve a specialist certificate or replace the person responsible for the real work.

Enter once, carry forward carefully
Useful project information moves with the job.
SiteHQ can reuse confirmed information and keep its source visible. It must not turn a document reference into a physical observation.
- Roof/task description and location
- Access drawings and photographs
- People, competence evidence and equipment
- RAMS controls and emergency contacts

RescueMethod, equipment and named team required
Human approval stays visible
SiteHQ prepares and controls the record. People make the decision.
SiteHQ does not inspect the roof, design edge protection, decide safe weather limits or approve a rescue plan. A competent person must check the real site, equipment and team before issue.
Questions contractors ask
Clear answers before you start.
Does a photograph prove the roof is safe?
No. Photographs can support the record but do not replace a competent inspection or assessment.
Can the plan cover fragile surfaces?
The Preview workflow has specific fields for fragile areas and controls. A competent person must confirm them for the real roof.
Is rescue just an emergency contact?
No. The plan should describe a workable rescue method, equipment, people and communication arrangements.
