Working on roofs can be extremely dangerous therefore it's crucial to warn people of the dangers of fragile roof by displaying safety signs where appropriate.

Falls through fragile surfaces, particularly fibre-cement roofs and rooflights, account for 22% of all fall from height fatalities in the construction industry and in the agricultural sector, roughly 50% of fatalities and serious injuries are caused by falls involving work on fragile roofs.

With so many dying every year due to fragile surfaces, it is vitally important for employers to carry out a thorough risk assessment and highlight fragile roof dangers using safety signage.
