Men on the roof

Spotted on a new housing estate in Derby, Derbyshire, UK, men clambering over the roof of a new build house, without as much as a proper roof ladder.

On top of this a tube and coupler scaffold has been erected presenting anyone that might fall with a spike to land on. Odd that no effort seems to have been made to cover the roof, when most of the builders have all the PPE gear, including the lucky hi-viz vests.

Hard to imagine that roof access was properly planned in this job?

Its certainly not the worst case we have seen by any stretch of the imagination, given that it likes a good solid scaffold platform around the perimeter, but it's surprising that in this day and age this builder does not appear to have planned the job and roof access properly.

Have a safe weekend.
