Toolbox talks for roofer crews
The talks below match the hazards roofer crews actually face: falls from roof edges and through fragile surfaces, falling objects onto persons below, overhead powerlines, heat exposure on exposed roofs, manual handling of sheets and tiles. Every talk is free and includes a printable sign-on sheet so the meeting is documented.
Roofer-specific talks
Working at Heights
A fall of more than two metres is high risk construction work, and falls are still one of the biggest killers on Australian building sites. The controls exist and they work: the danger is treating "just a quick one" at the edge as an exception. There are no quick exceptions at height.

Roof Work
Roofs combine the two things that hurt roofers most: a fall risk over two metres and surfaces that will not always hold your weight. Add heat, overhead lines, and the temptation to nip up for a five-minute job with no gear, and the roof becomes the most dangerous place on the site. Every roof job needs a fall plan before the first foot goes up.
