Why roofers need a proper RAMS

Roofing kills more workers than any other UK construction trade. The combination of working at height, fragile roofs, hot works for lead flashing, and adverse weather makes it one of the most regulated activities. HSG33 is the headline guidance. NFRC standards apply for membership. CLAW 2002 governs lead. INDG327 governs oxy/acetylene. A roofing RAMS that does not reference these reads as amateur to a Principal Contractor.
