Roofing contractors can make a much greater contribution to long-term rooftop safety.
Over the past few years, I’ve read a number of articles in roofing magazines discussing the different ways we can make roofs safer – both during and after roof installation. Unfortunately, some of these articles also tend to imply that adding these important safety features is primarily the responsibility of the building designer or architect, who may never even set foot on a roof. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m all for making sure building designers are up to speed on the latest rooftop safety systems, but I think roofing contractors can make a much greater contribution to long-term rooftop safety – and increase sales in the process.
First, think about the number of roofing quotations you provide directly to building owners. If your company is submitting dozens of quotes every week, you should consider adding a wide variety of permanent rooftop safety solutions as options to your quote. Here’s a few ideas to get you started.
