Course Description: AEC Daily: The Rooftop Environment: Designing for Safe Access and Fall Protection
ONGOING - FREE - 1.25 HOURS
Anytime a facility has people working on a roof, their safety and protection must be the priority. Even under the best conditions, working on a rooftop is dangerous due to the roof’s elevation, slope, and edge, as well as other hazards created by weather conditions, electricity, and power tools. This course reviews the hazards of the rooftop environment and the relevant Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations to aid designers, property owners, and facility managers in selecting safe access and fall protection systems for their buildings.
ONGOING - FREE - 1.25 HOURS
Learning Objective

Discuss why rooftop injuries and falls occur and how OSHA regulations address worker safety.
Describe different types of safe access and fall protection equipment that are OSHA compliant.
