Roofing contractors face severe fall, fire, water-intrusion, wind, and completed-work exposures. Low-slope, steep-slope, residential, commercial, repair, replacement, new construction, torch-applied, and membrane work should be clearly separated.
Risks to review
- Falls from height and falling-object injuries
- Open-roof water intrusion and weather damage
- Torch, hot asphalt, heat, and fire exposure
- Completed roof failure, wind loss, and warranty allegations
Information to prepare
- Revenue and payroll by roof type, project type, height, and territory
- Fall protection, training, supervision, hot-work, and weather procedures
- Largest projects, subcontracting, contracts, warranties, and quality control
- Vehicles, cranes or lifts, tools, materials, and loss history
Frequently asked questions
Why disclose torch-applied or hot work?
Open flame, heated materials, combustible construction, fire watch, extinguishers, permits, and post-work monitoring materially affect the exposure.
How can open-roof procedures affect losses?
Daily tie-in, weather monitoring, temporary covering, material storage, drainage, documentation, and emergency response can reduce water-intrusion severity.
