Roofing work is classified as high-risk construction work under WHS Regulations s.291(a) due to the inherent risk of falls from 2 metres or more. A SWMS is mandatory for all roofing operations on construction sites.

Our roofing SWMS pack covers 8 activities including roof tiling, metal roof sheeting, roof restoration, gutter and fascia installation, skylights, and height safety system installation. Each document addresses the critical hazards of roofing work including falls from roof edges, falls through fragile roof surfaces, falling objects, heat stress, and adverse weather conditions.

Key Hazards Covered

Falls from roof edges and eaves
Falls through fragile roof surfaces (skylights, sheeting)
Falling objects and tools from roof level
Heat stress from prolonged sun exposure
Manual handling of heavy roofing materials at height
Adverse weather conditions (wind, rain, lightning)

Roofing SOP — Common Questions

What is the difference between a SOP and a SWMS?

A SOP provides step-by-step instructions for completing a task safely. A SWMS is a legal document specifically for high-risk construction work that focuses on hazard identification and risk control. SOPs are broader and apply to all tasks, not just HRCW.

Why do I need SOPs if I have SWMS?

SWMS only cover high-risk construction work. SOPs cover all tasks, including routine operations, equipment use, and procedures that don't qualify as HRCW but still need standardised safe practices.

Are your SOPs trade-specific?

Yes. Each SOP is written for specific trade activities, with relevant safety controls, PPE requirements, and references to applicable Australian Standards.
