Roofs 8 in 12 Slope or More

Falls from elevation are one of the leading causes of injuries to construction workers in British Columbia.

Fall Protection Systems Must Be Used

Fall protection systems must be in place:

  • When there is a possibility of a fall of 3 m (10 ft.) or more, OR
  • Where a fall from a height of less than 3 m (10 ft.) involves a risk of injury greater than the risk of injury from the impact on a flat surface.

Sloped Roof Requirements

Both toeholds and fall protection systems must be used when a roof has a slope of 8 to 12 (vertical to horizontal) or more.

Toeholds must be at least 38 mm x 140 mm (2 in. x 6 in.).

NOTE: Exposed horizontal roof strapping may be used as toeholds as long as it provides safe footing.

Working on steep roofs increases the risk of falls and serious injury. At GamaSafety, we stress the use of proper fall protection systems and secure toeholds to ensure worker safety on high-slope projects.
